Alone isn't the way: Unlock joy-the power of challenging thoughts together

Jan 30, 2025

We know sometimes it feels like you're swimming against the current, trying to reach your goals all by yourself. We've all been there. 

You take on so much as a physician mom and even pride yourself in your independence and capability. But we promise you - alone isn't the way. 

When you go at it alone, your thoughts and patterns get stagnant. Thoughts become habits. These habitual thoughts start to feel like indisputable facts. 

Before you know it you are trapped in your own thought bubble, seeing the world through a lens of your own making.

Here's a quick tip to try to break free from a sticky thought that is holding you back.
Challenge your thought by asking, "Is this really a fact? Could there be another way to look at this?”

Why does this work? 

It snaps you out of your thought bubble and opens you up to consider new possibilities. It's the first step to breaking free. 

Your physician brain is amazing but it can also become an echo chamber. The happiest individuals regularly expose themselves to new ideas and perspectives, preventing the formation of restrictive thought bubbles.

We know you want more joy! Consider surrounding yourself with diverse perspectives from individuals committed to personal growth. (Hint: Our coaching community might be just what you're looking for!)

Give questioning your thoughts a try, and remember - you don't have to do it alone. We’re here for you!

We'll exercise when life settle...
The noise complaint: Loud and true are not the same thing
One of the weird things about being human is that our brains tend to confuse loud with important.     The loudest kid in the classroom.    The loudest person in the meeting.    The loudest comment on social media. We all know those aren't automatically the wisest voices in the room. Yet when it comes to our own thoughts, we often forget that. A thought shows up with a lot of energy behind it an...
