42: Atomic Habits for 2024! | HIGHLIGHTS

The tool I share in this week’s podcast is THE TOOL that made it crystal clear that I was leaving Medicine.   Here’s the thing: decisions are only hard when we tell ourselves that all options are dangerous.   As long as you think all options are dangerous, of course, you’ll feel paralyzed with no good options. Of course. And this will have you stuck in indecision, which is a decision but it’s one that keeps you stuck.   Here’s your tool: make all options safe FIRST. You’ll be happy either way. You’ll be successful either way. You’ll feel fulfilled either way. If all that’s true, then what do you want to do next?   When you create safety FIRST, you access the wisest part of your mind and intuition to make the best decisions yet. In the episode you also get two case studies to walk you through how to apply this tool. One of the case studies is ripped from my diary—you’ll love it! Click the button to enjoy the show.

Today we talk what to do when you have something you WANT to do and also you find yourself NOT doing it.   In the past, Medicine may have taught you to grind it out anyway: “just stop whining and force yourself to do it.”   Your coach may have offered “but you can do hard things!”, “discomfort is the currency of your dreams,” or “just put fear in the backseat and drive.”   And all of this can get AMAZING results. For sure. If these techniques get you the results you want AND you feel great. Keep doing them.   For me, these approaches got results AND FELT TERRIBLE: Calling myself a whiner made me feel small. Making myself do things I didn’t want to do felt like I was invisible to me. I don’t want to expect everything important to be hard and uncomfortable. I didn’t want to stuff my feelings away.   In this week’s episode you get a WHOLE NEW WAY TO APPROACH LIFE. It’s three simple steps. It involves NO hustle. NO grinding. NO being mean to yourself. You actually might find it brings immediate RELIEF. CALM. Ease. It’s about what to do when part of you does NOT want to do something. Click the button to enjoy the show.

My brain recently surprised me.  A former colleague asked to interview me about my career pivot from academic medicine to full-time life coaching. He wanted to understand how I made this decision. He was concerned some people would harshly judge my decision. The idea of someone judging my decision lit my brain up FOR DAYS. I might have even lost sleep in a heated argument in my head at 3AM. AND I thought I was over all of this by now. In today’s podcast episode, I walk you through HOW to work through someone else’s judgment. When you have this tool, you'll have new ways to deal with all this... ✅When boss says you don’t see enough patients ✅When Chair says you haven’t written enough papers ✅When mother-in-law says you don’t help out enough around the house ✅When partner says the dress is a little too tight (ok, this one might not ever be neutral!)
