Description
Do you think there is a right and wrong way to go about change? And/or a right or wrong time to change? Is the fear of making a mistake holding you back from change? When you are “successful” it is harder to change. What makes charge hard for those trained in medicine? We assume negative outcomes and tend to catastrophize. We focus on negative what if’s and we don’t like uncertainty. We like control, plans, and evidence-based action. We tend to be people pleasers and don't want to disappoint. We are often over-responsible at the expense of ourselves (martyrdom). We tend to be risk-avoidant and afraid of making mistakes. What is needed to finally change and have it stick? You have to want to change yourself -- instead of wanting others or things outside of you to change You need to move towards something rather than away from something You need to believe in yourself and trust the process You need to practice effective energy management You need to practice healthy nervous system care You need to learn to practice self-compassion, neutrality, acceptance, and kindness You need to support yourself well You need to be willing to invest time and energy into change itself Listen to the episode to learn more. If you want to make a change in your own life and/or are in the midst of career and/or life pivots, join Transition Well, Ongoing Presence, or a Sagrada CME Retreat. They all offer intimate small-group coaching programs for women in medicine and they are exactly the support you need to transition, grow, evolve, and change.
