10 Life Lessons I Learned As An Occupational Therapist

In my role as an occupational therapist (OT), I engage with individuals facing some of life's most challenging moments. These individuals often find themselves in both physical and mental adversity. However, they partner with me to regain a measure of independence, address vulnerabilities, and strive for personal growth.

Each encounter with these resilient individuals offers a valuable opportunity for self-discovery. The impact of every moment is profound, dependent on the depth of my engagement. Initially, these experiences are intriguing insights or "a-ha" moments, but over time, they coalesce into discernible patterns and transformative lessons that I can apply to various aspects of my life. Here, I share the first installment of the lessons I've gleaned as an occupational therapist.

What Is The Growth Kit?

I'm Brian Comly, a dad, husband, health and fitness enthusiast, and the founder of MindBodyDad.com.

I launched MindBodyDad in 2022 after realizing that I could combine my hobby of science-based self-experimentation and improvement with my love of teaching others. As a nerdy type who is always looking to find better solutions and improve upon different areas of my life, I realized that I could help way more than myself and my family as I dug through the science.  Since then I've written on a range of topics that pique my interest including the Zone 2 training, baby-led weaning,  seed oils, productivity strategies, baby reflexes, rucking, vision, behavior management strategies, sleep strategies, the benefits of weight lifting, takeaways from my favorite books, interviews with experts in a variety of fields, and lessons I've learned as an occupational therapist.  Each of these articles provide practical nuggets of information meant to help you grow.

Now, I'm bringing each of those articles to you with the help of a voice AI.  I created The Growth Kit podcast to continue providing practical strategies to improve your life, but now it’s coming through your ears instead of your eyes.
