It is so common for us to go through a tough situation and put up a guard or try to control situations in order to not repeat that situation again. In a way it is a coping mechanism, some kind of natural defense, but it ends up hurting us and those around us much more often than it helps. On this episode I explain how even if we have worked through a tough time in our life and gotten past a bad situation, it can still effect our everyday lives in a major way.

Fatigue. We’ve all been there, right? All-nighters, sleepless evenings, moving through mornings in a fog—it seems to be more and more common these days. But the truth is that fatigue is a dangerous epidemic that puts our health and safety at risk. Repeated nights of disrupted sleep are linked to higher rates of diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, obesity, certain cancers, and more. Every year there are more car crashes and deaths attributed to excessive somnolence, drowsiness, and falling asleep behind the wheel than to drunk driving and other forms of intoxication. Fatigue is also especially problematic in the medical field, as it leads to human error and jeopardizes patient safety. That’s why it’s so important to make sleep a priority and break out of the fatigue cycle. It’s up to us to take care of ourselves and make sure we’re getting the rest we need, so listen in to learn the signs of fatigue and how you can prevent yourself from falling victim to its adverse effects.

Today I want to bring us back to a place where we have the ability to disconnect from things we cannot control and live a happier, more effective life. As physicians, this can be an especially tricky trap to fall into when we rely too heavily on the outcome of our treatments or suggestions. In her book Loving What Is, Byron Katie discusses this issue beautifully. Katie states that if you are mentally in someone else's business or God's business, the result is separation from yourself. In this episode I share how this can be poisonous in our relationships, our work, and even our own minds. I also give some tips on how to pull yourself out of this way of thinking and catch yourself more quickly when you do it again.

He also outlines what gets in the way of creating strong relationships at work and why that can be harmful to our mindset and work ethic.

How have we gone 30 episodes without discussing personal relationships!?! Today, we fix that by covering the basic framework for understanding relationships and social skills. It starts with judgment and expectations. We all judge. Some more than others. But, no one can escape it completely. What makes relationships really tricky is the fact that everyone has their own unique internal code for appropriate and inappropriate behavior.
