Pump the brakes on your week and take 10 minutes to make your life as a surgeon just a little better…
Jeff welcomes to the podcast SurgeonMasters collaborator and physician coach, Dr. Errin Weisman.
On this episode, Errin and Jeff talk about being comfortable with being UNcomfortable.
Is there a new skill you want to learn or a hobby you want to pick up? Maybe there's a physical habit you want to make routine, but it just hasn't happened yet. Is there something you want but haven't had the nerve to ask for?
Uncertainty and discomfort can stifle growth and progress. On the flip side, healthy uncertainty with a solid support system can be invigorating and lead to growth.
Yes, it can feel overwhelming to make even small changes or add anything to our plate when it already feels so full. But we rarely experience progress without some level of uncertainty or unease.
Errin tells us to embrace these feelings, and to work on gaining perspective and developing a plan to move forward.
What steps does Errin suggest we take to embrace being uncomfortable and spark growth?
-
Step 1 – Awareness – Understand if you are running away from something or moving toward something. What is underlying your desired change?
-
Step 2 – Assessment – Find clarity around WHY you feel this way and what has led to this point.
-
Step 3 – Action – Take INCREMENTAL steps to start moving forward. Small steps can power SUBSTANTIAL growth.
Most importantly, embrace the uncomfortable! Growth comes from a place of discomfort, starting with incremental steps.
