As we continue to do the work to uncover old thought patterns and rewire our brains for success, it is helpful to give ourselves daily reminders to keep going. In today’s episode, host Dr. Lara Salyer shares 7 daily mantras that she uses in both her personal and professional lives to keep herself moving forward.

We become the thoughts we think. So it is important for all healthcare practitioners and entrepreneurs to implement a set of beliefs into their daily routine, and one of the best ways to do this is by repeating short mantras to yourself. That way when the going gets tough, you can take a moment to step pause and get back on track. For Dr. Lara, a few of her favorite mantras include asking herself if she’s done the bare minimum, finding a place to dump and organize her ideas, structuring tasks to make them easier, and focusing her attention on things that will grow her flow.

These mantras have not only been effective in Dr. Lara’s life, but the lives of many other practitioners that she has mentored. Join the conversation for a deeper dive on how you can utilize these 7 mantras to lower cortisol and guide you towards success!

About The Catalyst Host, Dr. Lara Salyer:

I worked as a family physician for 15 years until burnout changed the trajectory of my career. I realized I wanted to start a holistic functional medicine practice in my rural hometown and made it happen. In addition to practicing functional medicine, I now mentor practitioners who are looking to change their paths in healthcare by using what I refer to as the “Catalyst Roadmap”. I share each step of this framework with listeners so that they may apply it to their careers, relationships, personal goals, and projects.
