Boundaries mean freedom

I value my clinical time.

I thrive in my admin time.

I treasure my personal time.

I’m not perfect, but I place very rigid boundaries between each and because I do so, I can enjoy each for its own merits.

I don’t have to fret about running my business when I’m seeing my patients because I know I have dedicated time to make sure the business is ok. I can focus 100% on the person in front of me and I’m free to give myself entirely to them.

I don’t need to worry about being an absent father or husband when I’m doing my CPD or formulating complex treatment plans because I’ve built family time into my schedule. I can use this admin time for whatever I feel is most valuable to me and my business with the freedom of knowing I’m not shortchanging anyone else.

I can play with my kids in the garden, have a day out with my friends or relax with my wife because I know I’m as on top of my work as I can be.

Because I maintain strong boundaries, I have the freedom to be the best version of me, in whatever way I think that is, in any given moment.

Strong boundaries provide freedom.

Aretha Franklin - Think

You better think
 Think about what you're trying to do to me
 Yeah, think
 Let your mind go, let yourself be free

Oh, freedom, freedom
 Oh, freedom, yeah, freedom
