Are you cultivating the right kind of optimism in your personal and professional life? 
How to Grow Your Resiliency Quotient (pt 3) - today, Julie South guides you through the concept of realistic optimism—what it is and why it matters.

She shares insights on its benefits - and how these apply to your daily professional life.

Discover how cognitive restructuring is not just a buzzword, but a transformative tool with real-life applications for veterinary professionals.

Learn about the 'three C's'—Control, Challenge, Commitment—and their pivotal role in building resilience. 

Understand the subtle yet crucial differences between a Pollyanna mindset and Realistic Optimism, and how one can empower your Resiliency Quotient, while the other will disempower.

Julie also tackles the tough questions:

Can realistic optimism shield you from burnout? 
How can we counter automatic negative thoughts that sabotage our work? 
And what's the significance of 'pattern interrupt' in maintaining a balanced and optimistic perspective?

For answers to these questions and to further grow your Resiliency Quotient, tune in!  This episode is perfect for veterinary professionals looking for practical strategies to bounce forward every time they find themselves in the middle of a Pear Shaped Event - at work or at home.
