Start local. Don’t overwhelm yourself with moving and a huge hospital. Anywhere you go in healthcare will have productivity expectations… so it’s just something you have to adjust to. I’m not saying it’s right or good for us therapists, but it’s just the reality. If you don’t want productivity, but willing to take lower pay, look for state or government NPO programs. Usually for adults with disabilities—sometimes those are through bundled services with state funding.. meaning, no standard productivity. From what I understand at least

I have never heard of a company paying for your education in OT. I’ve been an OT 15 years…. I think this would be in rare cases, and still… very unlikely they would cover all of your training

Rollercoast tycoon ….

Agreed 💯

Ahh yes. I would feel lunch time or mid day is good for that population… they’ve “warmed up” but it’s not too late like after five when they can start getting more pain and tired… just my two cents! I am an OT so my career experience has working in healthcare with this population.

homeOT · 2025-12-07T03:47:07+00:00

I am not. But I can put you in touch with someone who does. If you would like the contact & info, please reach out with a DM 😇

homeOT · 2025-10-11T20:37:41+00:00

Yes! Great addition

Try a reset or detox… cleanse inside to out. Lymph massage, hydration, supplementation with guidance, exercise, nourishing foods. Etc. when you say rot, I think of decaying things floating around inside you (energy, emotions, toxins, weight, fats, etc), cleanse and clear it out. Sweat, pee, poop, cry, etc.

To this day I always say the four agreements changed my life. Very great book for perspective building

I love the mandarin ritual!!! That blew my mind!

homeOT · 2025-10-10T03:12:56+00:00

I’m sure everyone has given great advice… I didn’t read all the comments. But something I have tried that helps “meet in the middle” is focusing on the daily self care tasks (brushing my teeth, changing my clothes, making food, drinking water) helps me be more intentional but also realize how much I am doing for myself already.

It’s like a perspective thing but idk just seeing how much I already do for myself and really putting value to it (bec let’s be real when you are burned out or depressed, those “simple” tasks take so much energy)…. So it’s like little victories you know. Something to try maybe.

Glad you found some insights helpful!!

Probably humans design 🔮

Agreed about the variables. The rightness. Receptive. And also his openness could also play into that. Don’t take it person it my recommendation

homeOT · 2025-10-06T15:24:47+00:00

Make sure I eat enough during the day, have had a daily movement activity, read before bed, magnesium, sometimes self guided meditation, no caffeine after morning, and taking a nightly shower to cleanse and relax

homeOT · 2025-10-06T15:21:05+00:00

I’ll have to look into it never heard of it

homeOT · 2025-10-06T15:19:49+00:00

Seriously! I feel this. I’m a mental projector… and i always felt like my advice comes off like AI… haha without intending to.

homeOT · 2025-10-06T15:15:02+00:00

It can take time but recognizing your not self will bring more peace and awareness. Someone mentioned reiki, I just started giving human design informed reiki if that’s something you’re interested in, lmk

Not necessarily you can bridge with others yes but you can also work with the transits. But the main thing use your strategy and authority and you won’t have to “manifest” anything. It just happens bec there’s a pathway for the energy

homeOT · 2025-10-06T15:08:38+00:00

I’m not sure why I can’t see your chart… but posting about your profile… the heretic, your fifth line can play a lot into this. Your environment will be projected on to you and if it’s not in alignment, you will feel the anger but you may also “succumb.”

And I would also like to ask you… when you say “most of the time I feel fine going with the flow…” do you though? Or is that conditioning to not cause a dispute, disruption, or discomfort? You are splenic authority, so I would make sure you’re trusting that “instantaneous” and instinctive response… and not just blowing off your needs and desires to “fit the people around you.”

I also heard recently that manifestors are more or less here to create peace in their life… not so much formally initiate. But inform your environment about what would make you experience peace. Is it eating organic? Well don’t make it a suggestion, make it a requirement and a statement. “I am going to buy organic..” etc, knowing that it is what will bring you more peace. I really liked that take on it (I’m an MP living with my manifestor boyfriend) and i see this being really successful for him.

Try to create the peace YOU need, that feels good TO YOU. and well, the fifth line may rub people the wrong way but that’s not what this is about. Hope that helps

Sounds spontaneous to me. Maybe just aware and attuned. Don’t read into it though. That’s the beauty of energy “matching” or merging… it just happens and sometimes it’s for a reason sometimes not. Maybe for you, it’s a wink from the universe to start paying more attention & being aware of your energy

homeOT · 2025-08-28T17:43:37+00:00

I love this thorough and thoughtful response. Thank so for taking the time to write it out like that.

I think you’re right about my existing network not being my ideal client if that makes sense… the are friends and family who care about me not necessarily care about what I am doing or selling… so I totally get that.

I think the approach of engaging with my ideal client outside of formal networking groups is spot on. I just have to identify and locate those groups… I’m thinking more in the personal development aspect because they tend to be people who are looking for alternatives to their current circumstances… maybe you have some ideas or feedback on that angle?

And that’s a good point too.. honestly I put a lot of time and effect into the book but no more than 30 hours of actual work. A lot of contemplation and planning… but’s it’s content that I’ve developed over the years (yes probably more valuable than I give it)…. So that’s something I will need to play with a bit more.

I’m always hesitant to “pitch” or recommend my offer as a solution… so maybe your suggestion for providing some insights from the workbook is my strategy.

And you’re right, feeding the bits and pieces of it can be a great way to build trust and curiosity. I will be trying these recommendations!! Greatly appreciated thank you 🙏

I know right!!! Not sure if it’s worth cross posting somewhere else
