Happy New Year!

 

Have you ever set a resolution only to watch it fizzle out by mid-January?

You’re not alone!  92 % of New Year's resolutions are never realized!

 

In this week's blog post, I explore the LEGACY Method a physician-specific approach that aligns your goals with your core values, embraces small wins, and fosters whole-person development.

Imagine setting and achieving resolutions that boost your career and enhance your personal well-being—sounds like a legacy worth building, right?

👉 Read the full blog here to discover how you can make 2025 your most impactful year yet!

The best way to predict the future is to create it.                                

 — Peter Drucker

Coach's Corner

Step 1: Reflect on Your Values
Take a few minutes to jot down what matters most to you—both professionally and personally. Consider questions like:
  • What do I want to be remembered for in my career?
  • What personal achievements bring me the most joy?
Step 2: Identify Small Wins  

Using the LEGACY Method, break down your big goals into tiny, actionable steps. For example:

  • Goal:  Improve patient
  • Micro-Action: Take one deep breath before entering each patient’s room.
Step 3: Set a SMART Goal  

Transform a vague aspiration into a Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound objective.  
Instead of: “I’ll reduce stress.”  
Try: “I will practice 5 minutes of mindfulness three mornings per week for the next month."

Laugh a Little: Remember, even Rome wasn’t built in a day—and neither are your resolutions!

Celebrate those tiny victories along the way.

Making Gratitude Stick: Turning Relief Into Real Change
  When you pause and feel grateful in the middle of a hard day, something real happens. Your nervous system settles. Your chest loosens. You feel a little less alone. That short-term effect matters. But I want more for you than momentary relief. Long-term gratitude practice, the kind you repeat, even briefly, over weeks and months, literally retrains how your brain pays attention. Through neur...
Gratitude in Practice: Three Ways to Rewire Your Mind and Strengthen Meaning
  Last week, I touch on the science of gratitude. (Explore more deeply in this blog).  Practicing gratitude literally reshapes your brain and lowers stress. This week, we’re putting that science into practice. Gratitude is often misunderstood as a soft emotion, but in truth, it’s one of the most powerful neurobiological tools we have for resilience. It helps shift your brain’s focus away from ...
More Than a Feeling: The Neuroscience of Gratitude and How It Transforms the Way We See the World
  When I first started exploring gratitude, I wasn’t looking for inspiration, I was looking for evidence. Like many physicians, I was tired, skeptical, and searching for something that actually worked. Gratitude, I thought, sounded nice in theory, but how could it possibly make a difference when you’re running on fumes? Then I found the science. Neuroscientists have shown that gratitude isn’t ...
