Send us a text

Day three of a 365-day consistency challenge brings reflections on dental practice, patient care, and pushing through exhaustion. Despite wanting to rest after performing unscheduled extractions for someone in excruciating pain, showing up consistently means embracing imperfections and staying committed to the original goal.

• Performed emergency extractions for a patient in severe pain who couldn't sleep
• Reflected on motivations for becoming a dentist—helping people must come first, not money
• Patients become your "patience" as you see them more often than some family members
• Created a "consistency soup recipe" for maintaining daily practice
• Committed to showing up authentically through imperfections and awkwardness
• No starting over rule keeps the 365-day challenge on track
• Enjoyed career-focused questions about dentistry during the live session

Do everything with love and passion or don't do it at all. Go to Twitter @DrShonW to share what's in your consistency soup.

Speaker 1:

feel about day three like I'm proud, I'm full of gratitude. I'm still passionate. Today was a really tough day to conquer because nothing there's nothing more that I wanted to do than to lay down after taking out extractions at the end of the day that weren't originally on the schedule. They were just like. Somebody is in excruciating pain. They couldn't sleep last night so I'm like, come on, I'll help you out. So they, right now, they somewhere sleep, and that's okay, because that's why we become dentists. That's the number one reason why we become dentists, and it has to be. It can't be because the money, because sometimes the money ain't always how you think it is. It has to be because you want to help other people, get other people out of pain, make other people smile, enhance other people's lives, because your patience will become your patience. Literally. You're going to see these people probably more than you see some of your family members. Whatever you do tonight, do it with love, do it with passion or don't do it at all. Guys, remember that consistency soup recipe. Go to my Twitter, dr Sean W, and let me know what's in your consistency soup.

Speaker 1:

Let's continue to grow every day and show up. You already know I'm showing up tomorrow, otherwise I failed this experiment and we cannot start this experiment over. That's the one rule. You cannot start over. Well, you can start over. But I one rule you cannot start over. Well, you can't start over. But I don't want to start over. I want to keep going for 365 days, through the imperfections, through the awkwardness, through any you know, feelings of dang. I don't want to really show them. No, I want to be myself. I want to be myself and through anything that makes me feel like inhibited or anything that makes me feel like I'm being weighed down. So I want to show up through all of that, okay, like tonight, tonight, today, I'm like dang, I really don't want to show up. So that's the day three.

Speaker 1:

Summary man, I didn't want to do it but I did. Period, hey, period. I didn't want to do it but I did. I didn't want to do it but I did. And I got some great questions from hoobies what thank you like? Boobies? What thank you like? That made my night, thank you so much. And then you ask questions that were very career focused and something that I love. Talk about dentistry and teeth a lot of times. I don't because I don't want to oversaturate with that, because all my patients be like not all my patients, but when I meet them they say dang, I hate the dentist, I hate the dentist. So I'm like dang. People might not like talking about teeth but I still do it anyways, and I love talking about all types of dentistry from every level. So we had a pretty good live today. The goal was accomplished day three in the bag, y'all in the bag in the bag, you y'all In the bag In the bag. You know this is Dr Cheetah Sunflower, aka Dr Sean. All the way live Bye.
