What Are You Waiting For?

Many physicians are not enjoying the life they worked so hard to attain. They spent years creating this life, yet it isn't living up to their expectations. Sometimes it is hard to admit that things don't feel right, that it isn't what you thought it would be. Adding to the challenge is the feeling that there is nothing you can do about it, you feel stuck, it is all in the hands of someone else, or up to the organization. For some, it might be just one aspect of their practice that they want to change. It could be that one problem you just haven't been able to solve. After years of waiting for other people or circumstances to address my occasional discontent with work, I realized that I was the only one that could change the way I felt about it. A coach showed me how to look at ALL of my thoughts about my job. We tend to focus on the things that we don't like, the things that are causing us pain. Kind of like focusing on the one difficult patient of the day, rather than all of the others! I started with the thoughts that were causing me the most problems, the things that would keep me up at night. I then considered the things I liked about the job, the parts I was grateful for, and why I chose it in the first place. Talking about these with a neutral party was game-changing for me. The coaching tools I used enabled me to take the drama out, and evaluate the entire picture. I was able to see what I wanted, which priorities were most important, and what I wanted to change. The clarity with a plan that aligned with my priorities, brought SO much peace and contentment. This work can help in whatever area you are struggling in. I'm thankful that God has blessed me with work that I love ,and gives me purpose in helping others. If you can relate to any of this, then coaching can help you sort it out.
