Many of us - scratch that, all of us, experience some level of self-doubt. We second guess our decisions, and then we second guess that second guessing. For physicians, this can come up with our patients - we aren’t sure we’ve gotten a diagnosis “right,” and we beat ourselves up over this self-doubt. Great physicians always know. And they never doubt themselves.

Author Siddhartha Mukherjee shared a relevant quote: “Good physicians are rarely dispassionate. They agonize and self-doubt over patients.”

Can you flip the script on your self-doubt? Can you affirm to yourself how this self-doubt is actually a marker of a good physician?

If you're still charting at 10 PM, there are some skills that can help you get your charts done at work so you can finally leave work at work, and actually have time and mental bandwidth to be fully present when you're at home.

The OHIO is one key strategy.

To avoid regretting my words, I can utilize mindful speech.

Our words have power! Yet we can sometimes be careless with our words and find ourselves saying things we later wish we had never said.

To reverse this pattern, we can utilize the word THINK and ask ourselves:
Is it True?
Is it Helpful?
Is it Inspiring to others?
Is it Necessary?
Is it Kind?

Be a Mindful MD today:
As you go through your day, be sure to THINK before you speak. This will take practice but is definitely something you can gain mastery over.

While I typically have a to-do list for tasks, I can also establish one for how I want to show up.

For example, here’s a to-do list for today:
Be kind to yourself
Bring the same compassion to yourself that you bring to others
Forgive yourself for your imperfections

Be a Mindful MD today:
Make your own to-do list for how you want to show up today.

It’s ironic, but the more we focus on what we have yet to achieve, the less energy we have to get that stuff done. But the more we focus on what we have already achieved, and how far we’ve come, the more energy we have to go achieve more.

As physicians, there is always more to be done. But living life with a constant “next” hanging over us is exhausting. Can you take time today, instead, to focus on the boxes you have already checked?

Be a Mindful MD today:
What can you give yourself credit for today? What are you already doing well?

Have you ever had a day where you’re especially grumpy? Where the smallest inconveniences elicit sighs and eye-rolling? Where all your mental baggage seems to come up and clamor for attention?

These days are a part of life for all of us. Not every day will be sunshine and rainbows, full of free expression, massive achievement, and love. Some days will, to put it less-than mindfully, suck.

And that’s ok. It’s out of your control - if you could control it, would you ever give yourself a day like this?

Sometimes, the best thing to do is just acknowledge what is going on and mindfully accept it. Hey, today I’m having a bad day. I’ll probably go through the motions at work, I might not be 100% present when I’m with my spouse and my kids, and I might not give my workout 100%. Today, all I need to do is show up, and I’ll get back on track tomorrow.

Mindfully accepting the natural vicissitudes that energy and confidence go through can help us detach from the low points and give them less weight, so we can get some rest, and the next day, wake up on the right side of the bed.

Be a Mindful MD today:
Can you notice when you’ve woken up on the wrong side of the bed? Can you give yourself permission to ride out these energetic low points without allowing them to add to your stress?

The more we pay attention, the more we see just how busy our minds are forming judgments—what we like and don’t like, what we think is going well and isn’t, critiques of ourselves and of others, and more. Further, we being to notice how the brain’s negativity bias keeps our judging mind much more focused on the negatives than the positives, doesn’t it?

This tendency is exacerbated by our training as physicians. A big part of our training was to spot problems, right? Extremely useful as part of the diagnostic mindset but what happens when we start seeing everything through a problem-focused lens.

While many of our judgments serve us well, many do not. We can help our mind focus more on the positives by actively helping it perceive these.

Be a Mindful MD today:
Today, build your awareness by tuning in and noticing the judgments your mind makes. Then ask yourself: can I let this judgment pass through without attaching to it?

Today’s Master Your Mind MD email is going to be a nod toward gratitude.

We know that appreciating what we have is a fast-track toward feeling good, but sometimes it’s helpful to have a concrete reminder. Here’s a recent research study that does just that.

UC Berkeley split college students seeking counseling into three groups. In addition to their counseling, the first group was instructed to write a weekly gratitude letter to a friend or family member. The second group was instructed to journal about negative experiences, and the third group just received counseling.

Not only did the first group experience the most profound benefits, but these benefits occured even when the gratitude letters weren’t actually mailed.

In other words, just experiencing gratitude was a profound healing mechanism.

Be a Mindful MD today:
Write a “gratitude text” to someone who has had a positive impact on your life. Your choice if you send it or not!
