Stressed about your dental practice? Find a power spot or spots
Lynn D Carlisle, DDS
The importance of power spots was brought back to me recently when I visited two of my power spots. One was my old Boy Scout camp and the other was the Y-Camp in Estes Park, Colorado. The Boy Scout Camp is in the Ozarks of Missouri and the Y-Camp is 40 miles away from my home in Ft Collins, Colorado. I had not been to the Boy Scout camp for a long time, but the feelings of a power spot came back immediately. However, it is too far away to qualify as a current power spot. I go to the Y-Camp and the adjacent Rocky Mountain National Park frequently, so it still qualifies. I always feel at peace and re-energized when I am at the "Y". I and my family have visited the Y-Camp for 50+ years. I moved to Colorado because of my experience as a 10 year old there.

Power spot(s) are places where you can restore, renew, refresh and recreate yourself. Sometime, dentistry can be overwhelming. You become frazzled, stressed, cranky, grumpy, short with team members, patients and family. You are miserable. The more stressed you are; the more you need to find and use a power spot. What are the characteristics of a power spot? It is a physical place within 2-3 hours of your home. (It can be farther away, but the logisitcs of accessing it can prevent you from using it frequently.)
It needs to be in or next to nature.
It is a place where you feel at peace, relaxed and restored.
It is a place you have experienced the above feelings.
It is a place where you can play at your favorite activity or just chill out, veg, contemplate or meditate.
It can be solo or with family/or friends.
The simpler, and less expensive, the better Schedule visits to your power spot(s) regularly to ward off feeling overwhelmed. If you don't have a power spot, use the above criteria to discover one. Use them often.
