ABSTRACT
Reframing of the conversation about the veterinary profession’s challenges from one that focuses on the negative impacts and outcomes to one of supporting balance and thriving takes intentionality and commitment. A negative bias is a natural human tendency. To fortify environments of compassion satisfaction and thriving for veterinary professionals, an intentional mindset shift and commitment to increased conversations that embrace the fundamental tenets of positive psychology, mindfulness, and eudaimonia is required. To collaborate in addressing the challenges and opportunities creatively and strategically for today’s veterinary world, it will take a healthy, energized, and optimistic caregiving community.
