Episode 96: Unplugged: Manifestation 101

How can manifestation shape your dream healthcare career? Dr. Salyer shares insights from her own career transformation, from experiencing burnout in family practice to finding joy in functional medicine. She highlights the role of visualization in this process, demonstrating how imagining an ideal work environment full of creativity and color led her to create the environment she now enjoys.

In explaining manifestation, Dr. Salyer underscores its effectiveness in visualizing and familiarizing the brain with a desired future, much like mental rehearsals used by elite athletes. She offers actionable tips on vividly imagining success and the steps to achieve it, such as setting up a workspace that reflects your vision or seizing opportunities that align with your goals.

A crucial part of this journey, according to Dr. Salyer, is listening to your intuition. She encourages embracing intuition in decisions, from designing your work environment to selecting projects that resonate with your envisioned path. How can you get started with manifestation? Dr. Salyer advises starting with simple exercises like imagining a successful patient interaction or creating a corner in your workspace that mirrors your ideal environment as the first steps toward larger career goals.

Dr. Salyer’s personal experiences and tips provide a unique perspective on using manifestation to shape a rewarding journey in the medical field and provide inspiration and practical guidance for healthcare professionals looking to blend creativity, intuition, and fulfillment into their careers.

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.

Quotes:

“The way manifestation works is when you actively are trying to manifest, you’re envisioning and practicing a future for your brain. You’re making your brain more comfortable with this ideal future so that it can recognize those elements and ingredients when it stumbles upon them.” (4:04 | Dr. Lara Salyer)
Our left brain loves to think and analyze, but it also can be our worst enemy because it creates fear. (7:57 | Dr. Lara Salyer)
“Intuition manifestation is a very good tool to make your decisions, to pedal back from burnout, and to really redesign your life with more creativity and less burnout. Because we all deserve to practice that sixth vital sign every day of creativity, of life, and of happiness.” (16:12 | Dr. Lara Salyer)
