    Everything you have is borrowed

    In this episode of the Stress-less Physician podcast, Dr. Sara Dill dives deep into the concept of negative visualization as a tool for cultivating gratitude and appreciation in our lives. She draws on the principles of stoicism to explore the idea that everything we have is essentially borrowed, emphasizing the temporary nature of our possessions, relationships, and even our own lives. Dr. Dill encourages intentional reflection on potential losses in order to savor and appreciate the present. The episode begins with Dr. Dill sharing her musings on stoic writings and the concept of habituation, where we quickly become accustomed to positive experiences and start focusing on what's wrong. She emphasizes the importance of intentionally reflecting on the temporary nature of everything in our lives. Dr. Dill provides personal examples to illustrate how negative visualization can shift our perspective, bringing a deeper sense of appreciation and gratitude to our daily experiences. The episode delves into the paradox of not clinging too tightly to what we have while fully appreciating and savoring it. Dr. Dill emphasizes that this intentional practice is not about dwelling on potential losses, but rather about cultivating gratitude and preparing ourselves for the future in a positive way. "What if you started reflecting on the fact that in some ways, everything you have is borrowed, the glass is already broken, that thinking about the potential loss of everything that we value in our life can in some way help us now feel more appreciation, more gratitude, and maybe more fully inhabit our lives."Key TakeawaysIntroduction to Stoicism and It’s Relevance to Modern LifeThe Brain’s Pattern of Habituating Postive Experiences: Negative visualization as a way to foster gratitude and appreciation in the present momentThe Concept of Everything Being Borrowed: Impermanence of possessions, relationships, health, and life itself, emphasizing the need to appreciate and savor them while they last.Intentional Cultivation of Appreciation and Gratitude: Discusses the balance of not clinging too tightly to life's aspects while valuing and appreciating them Connect with Dr. Sara Dill, MDThe Doctor’s CoachThinking about working with me? I have room for new clients, so don’t hesitate to schedule a FREE consult call: saradill.com/schedule.

    What to do when you get triggered

    In this episode, Dr. Sara Dill delves into the topic of how to handle being triggered by situations or people. She starts off by sharing her own experience of feeling triggered. Dr. Dill explains that being triggered involves having a negative emotional reaction to a situation, but she emphasizes that it's essential to differentiate between everyday triggers and deeper trauma triggers. She encourages listeners to recognize their triggers and warns against acting on impulse in such situations. The key takeaway from the episode is the importance of self-regulation and not reacting when triggered. Dr. Dill provides practical strategies, such as deep breathing, pausing, and engaging the senses to ground oneself in the present moment. She highlights the value of taking deliberate steps to downshift emotional and physiological responses before deciding on the best course of action. Dr. Dill shares personal experiences of excusing herself from a situation to regain composure, emphasizing the effectiveness of intentional state-shifting. Listeners are encouraged to grasp the concept of triggers, practice self-regulation, and understand the importance of pausing before reacting to trigger situations. Dr. Dill's insights offer practical tools for handling emotions and promoting a sense of calmness during challenging moments. "One of the things I did when I first started coach training was spend about two months just pausing during the day and identifying what I was feeling, which required me to actually check in with my body and with my emotional state and then label it."Key TakeawaysUnderstanding Triggers: What it means to be triggered, and looking at common triggers in everyday lifeRecognizing When You're Triggered: Recognizing the emotional and physiological response to being triggeredResponding to Triggers: Self-regulation and techniques for down-regulating the stress responseShifting Your State: Commitment to pausing and shifting out of heightened emotional statesThe Aftermath of Triggers: Reactions may not always require a response Connect with Dr. Sara Dill, MDThe Doctor’s CoachThinking about working with me? I have room for new clients, so don’t hesitate to schedule a FREE consult call: saradill.com/schedule.

    Control what you can and let the rest go

    In this episode of the Stress-Less Physician podcast, Dr. Sara Dill talks about the importance of controlling what you can and letting go of the rest. She shares her recent experience at a conference in Maui, where she learned valuable lessons about not clinging to being right all the time and being open to new information. Dr. Dill delves into the concept of control, emphasizing that while we often strive to control external factors, our true power lies in our internal responses and decisions. She uses examples from her own experiences to illustrate the benefits of focusing on what we can control, while accepting and letting go of the things beyond our influence. The episode strikes a balance between personal storytelling and insightful analysis, as Dr. Dill provides relatable anecdotes to drive home her message. She also shares her own journey of continuously working on this practice, acknowledging that it's an ongoing process for her as well. So, if you're ready to explore the liberating art of relinquishing control and focusing on what truly matters, tune in to this insightful episode and take a step toward a more stress-free, empowered mindset. "And the reason I think that really getting honest with controlling what you can, and letting the rest go is that it's very stressful. And it causes a lot of our negative emotions when we're trying to control the uncontrollable, which may be other people, this may include our children, this may include our patients.""Overnight olfactory enrichment using an odorant diffuser improves memory and modifies the uncinate fasciculus in older adults" in Frontiers in Neuroscience. Key TakeawaysThe idea of arguing less and not needing to be right all the time: The concept of control and responsibility, predominantly in a medical contextThe importance of understanding what can and cannot be controlled: The potential benefits of letting go and focusing on what can be controlledHighlighting the shift in perspective when letting go of control: Applications for daily life and in the bigger momentsCoping Strategies and Self-Reflection: Personal examples of trying to exert control and the resulting emotionsSelf-assessment and self-awareness as key components of managing emotions: Advocating for oneself while letting go of uncontrollable circumstances Connect with Dr. Sara Dill, MDThe Doctor’s CoachThinking about working with me? I have room for new clients, so don’t hesitate to schedule a FREE consult call: saradill.com/schedule.

    Stop the Compare and Despair Cycle

    Compare and despair is the tendency to constantly compare ourselves to others, but not in a positive way. We feel that we’re not measuring up in some way to others and we despair over our perceived failures. In our current society, the status or accomplishments of others is readily accessible. And I would say that this almost non-stop barrage of information can be unhealthy because it can lead to almost non-stop feelings of inadequacy. But there are ways we can stop the compare and despair cycle, starting first with consciously disengaging from it, and eventually, subconsciously disengaging as well. Let’s talk about it. “Without comparison, what’s not perfect?” – Dr. Sara DillWhat You’ll Learn4 effects of the compare and despair mindsetWhat disappears without comparisonSuggestions to stop compare and despair Contact Info and Recommended ResourcesPodcast Episodes that pair well with this one:Why how you speak about yourself and to yourself mattersAre you Upper Limiting Yourself?Imposter Syndrome Thinking Connect with Dr. Sara Dill, MDThe Doctor’s CoachThinking about working with me? I have room for new clients, so don’t hesitate to schedule a FREE consult call: saradill.com/schedule. What are you doing to move closer to your ideal life? Send me an email at sara@saradill.com or connect with me on social media.
