Life Coaching for Doctors - their own Health, the pink elephant

Yes, it's a topic I speak about often. I was so passionate about it that I became a Certified Life Coach for Doctors. However, it is something that doctors are still not quite up to snuff with. After all, this would mean that they would have to admit that maybe they could use a little help themselves in the overall health and wellness department. Sometimes this topic for doctors is like the pink elephant in the room. It's an issue ... it definitely is an issue for them, however they don't want to admit that pink elephant exists.

When I went to a Surgeon's Convention a few years ago and was one of the booths, along side the surgical equipment booths, it was quite interesting watching doctors' reactions to the Life Coaching Booth. Most of them hadn't even heard of this type of service and many of them shared with me quite a few horror stories of their own overall health and well-being, but were not doing anything about it. Many were just not open to investing in their own overall health and well-being and hiring a Life Coach! But, if you are a Doctor, let me ask you this question ... what is your own health worth to you? If you didn't have great health and weren't able to function at the level you currently do, what would that do to your Medical practice? your reputation? the support and help you give your patients? Why did you get into this profession anyway -- to help people improve their health? Don't you think it would be important for you to walk your talk? The level of service you would bring your patients if you were at your prime of health and stress-free would be superior to what it probably is right now.

Contact me if you want to talk about that pink elephant in the room. I absolutely know that I can help you improve your overall health and well-being by increasing your energy level, reducing stress, gaining greater mental clarity and focus and learning how to have greater control over the state of your physical health by learning how to apply some basic principles to your life.

I recently was interviewed on a Radio Show on Road Trip to Wellness: How to Attract Great Health. You can check out the recording of this radio show at the following link:

I have investigated many techniques out there that claim to reduce stress and this one, I find, is one of the BEST!

Coaching Curriculum Resource Book for Doctors

I have created a resource book for the Doctor who wants to live and breathe "Wellness". It is a curriculum that I have put together to help you, as a Doctor, enhance your overall health and well-being no matter what state you are at right now. From my experience with working with thousands of people with Multiple Sclerosis and other chronic health conditions, I have gained great knowledge around what works and what doesn't work when helping people who are dealing with a health challenge to shift their state of mind from that of "illness" to "wellness" and help each and every one of them feel physically and emotionally better.

This Doctors resource coaching manual is a culmination of a variety of concepts, strategies and exercises that I have used with my previous clients in additional to some new approaches that I have created specifically targeted for Doctors.

There are 11 chapters in my Doctor's Coaching Curriculum manual -- all of which will give you tips and techniques that will help you to:
1) Have more energy
2) Feel Less Stressed
3) Have greater mental clarity
4) Improve your personal and business relationships
5) Maintain a more positive attitude, even during your demanding schedule
6) Feel Invincible ... again!

If you are interested in purchasing my Doctor's Coaching Manual, please e-mail me at Maria@InvincibleMD.com for the pricing and options for adding one-on-one coaching with me, along with the purchase. You can just get the manual and use it as a resource guide to improve your overall health and well-being or you can hire me as your coach and we will work through this wellness program together, where you will receive my expert coaching guidance along with this comprehensive resource.

Young Doctors in Debt!

I was just reading some statistics on new doctors and how much debt they are in from all their student loans -- the results are staggering ... 100's of thousands of debt! Now, I understand ... we need doctors in society. Doctors are a very important profession. However, when I think about the stress that doctors have and the administrative BS that they have to deal with when in comes to health insurance issues with their patients and then on top of that the very long hours that they put in and from what I hear from doctors themselves is that sometimes the pay is not all that good either (compared to what they put into it and their debts) ... WOW it's a wonder that there isn't a significant drop in people entering the field of medicine as a Doctor!

I think it is very important for new doctors who are in debt (up to their ears) to have a financial plan to achieve financial independence while they are still young. Now, I am NOT a financial planner or financial advisor but I am on the path to financial independence through my involvement with a Relationship Marketing company that provides health and wellness products and for me, this is a low-risk way to build my financial future so that I can have the freedom to do what I want to, when I want to, however I want to ... you get the idea.

Wouldn't it be great if young doctors who are in debt would get involved with something like this (that is still in line with their profession) and begin to work their way out of debt, reducing the stress that comes along with that and feeling a sense of freedom that will stay with them forever. If they felt this, would it affect how they show up to their patients each day? Would they be able to give more and be more "at ease" when they are treating their patients? Would they have more balance between their personal and business life because they would have the freedom to take off more and spend more time with loved ones (because they didn't need the money)?

If you are a driven, ambitious doctor who loves what they do, but is looking for a solution that will help you to pay off your debt quicker and be on the way to financial independence, the contact me at Maria@InvincibleMD.com .

Business Opportunity for Doctors

I am going to be quite frank on this blog ... I really don't understand HOW doctors do what they do. I understand WHY ... but the HOW baffles me. Every single doctor I speak to is working long hours, has minimal time with their family, doesn't know what "ME TIME" is and complains about not getting paid enough.

It's quite shocking to hear that since most people think that doctors get paid LOTS of money and that they are VERY WEALTHY. But to my surprise, I have had quite a few doctors tell me that I get paid more than them by being a Life Coach. And here's the rub ... I have more flexibility in my days; I spend lots of time with my family and I have little to no stress. I also help people improve the quality of their lives (just in a different way)!

Now, obviously I know that we need to have doctors in this world. They are a God-send to millions of patients. And I have a deep gratitude and respect for Doctors --- but I also know that they are human too!

If you are a doctor reading this blog ... don't you agree? You are human. You have life issues. You get "sick and tired" of frustrating situations and I am sure that you have some bad days on occasion, right?

But, what are you doing about? What about your future? How long are you going to be able to keep up the pace that you are going? Or have you already seen a decline in what you can and can't do?

I would love to share with you a fantastic business opportunity that many doctors are flocking to --- why? Because it helps them build passive income, freeing up their time to do more of what they want and less of what they don't... it also gives them a sense of financial security and helps to support their bigger vision with their family and retirement years.

Contact me today to find out more about this fantastic business opportunity at Maria@InvincibleMD.com . If you are the type of person who would rather do your research on the internet first before you speak to me ... that's fine. I am so sure that this is an amazing opportunity that you must take advantage of, that I will give you the website to look at in the meanwhile: www.RXforPassiveIncome.com -- then you can contact me and we can talk about how I can help you to make a significant amount of money on a monthly basis with a proven successful business model. I have found my dream career, doing what I love and building a steady stream of income for years and years to come! It will support my dream of traveling all over the country in either my big luxury RV or in a very luxury, top-of-the-line rental vehicle, writing my books on the road, seeing this beautiful country-side, meeting new and interesting people and making money while I am traveling ... WITH EASE!

How does that sound?

Doctors who are SICK AND TIRED!

That's all I hear from the doctors I speak to these days is that they are sick and tired of the insurance companies telling them how they can and can't treat their patients. They are also sick and tired of getting paid less, working longer hours and feeling less and less fulfilled with the profession.

I am a Certified Life Coach for Doctors and I am passionate about helping doctors, like you, getting out of that rut of being "sick and tired" all the time. That's all I want for you is to be satisfied and fulfilled with what you are doing, maintain the passion and be paid very well for helping people feel better. Doesn't that sound GREAT?

Contact me at www.InvincibleMD.com and fill out the form on my Home Page. Schedule a consultation with me and start changing your life for the better.

Doctors procrastinate too!

Do you ever find yourself saying:
"I will do it later" or "I just haven't gotten to it yet" and then a year or two or three goes by and you still haven't done the thing that you wanted to do!

Well let me tell you something about procrastination that you may not know ... it could have an impact on your overall health and well-being!

What? How's that possible?

Yes, when you procrastinate you are putting off something that supposedly you want to do and what happens is, it is constantly in the back of your mind, whether consciously or subconsciously.

The thing that you are procrastinating to do ends up being a TOLERATION, something you are tolerating not having done yet ... but want to do.

Tolerations drain you of your energy. Tolerations add to your stress level.
So WHY do you put off those things that you want to do?

Here are a few of my theories:
1) You really don't want to do them and they are just a 'should'. Well, stop 'shoulding' all over yourself and put the 'shoulds' in the garbage. Because if deep down you really don't want to do it, it won't get done.

2) What you want to do appears to be a huge project that appears overwhelming. Well, my answer to that ... baby steps. Identify one minor action step that you can take towards what you want to achieve and just do that one thing. You will be one step closer to getting the big project done!

3) You have excuses up the ying yang! Face it, life is short! Do you want to do it or not? If no, then drop it. If yes, then make a list of how you will FEEL when you have completed this thing you want to do. Get in the moment of already having it completed. Live it. Breathe it. Act 'as if' it's already done. Give yourself enough motivation to move forward with it and stop procrastinating. The key secret to having what you want is to get in the habit of FEELING that you already have it or the FEELING of absolutely knowing that it is definintely "on it's way".

4)You need someone to hold you accountable. Hey, don't laugh. I have heard of coaches who have held accountability sessions with a group of clients 'Get 'er done day' we call them. It's a scheduled day where people check in at the top of the hour with their life coach and call in every hour to report their progress and get further motivation to keep on going. By the end of that day, guess what happens? You got it! Each client's project (that they have been putting off forever) is done! Amazing, isn't it?

5) You tell yourself the story that you don't have enough time to do it. Well, if you have been meaning to de-clutter your basement and all of a sudden you are hit with a massive flood in the basement, you WILL clean it THEN, won't you? You get the point. You can make the time. Remember, one small action step at a time. Sometimes the one step gives you all the momentum you need to keep on going.

So, what have you been procrastinating to do?

Do your health a favor and take action today. If you need my coaching support, feel free to contact me at Maria@InvincibleMD.com . I have very affordable coaching packages that will give you the precise support you will need to pursue your desires and accomplish your goals!

Life Coach for Doctors

Are you a Doctor who is looking to make a permanent change in your life in one specific area?

Do you wish that you could change at least one thing that would make all the difference in the world on how much you literally enjoy your life?

Maybe you are looking to transition out of the Medical field and pursue a new career that has less stress BUT where you can still make a lot of money? It is possible, you know! There are professions that make more money than doctors and work less/play more.

If you answered "YES" to any of the above questions, then contact me, Maria Lesetz, at Maria@InvincibleMD.com to see if life coaching is for you. I work with Doctors who are sick and tired ! (And let me tell you ... that phrase "sick and tired" really resonates with Doctors ---- when I was at an Annual Surgeon's convention and told the surgeons there that I worked with Doctors who are "sick and tired" -- all of the doctors shook their heads to confirm that "Yes, they are "sick and tired"!" Sick and tired with many aspects of their life (the long hours, their income, the demanding patients, their relationships with their spouse and kids, the politics of health care ... the list goes on!)

Well, if you are a doctor or other Medical professional that is ready to make a positive change and open to the avenue of hiring a life coach, then give me a call. I would be happy to help you make that positive change you are looking for!

Lesson from a client going through Divorce

This woman that I have been coaching over the past few months just finalized a nasty divorce. Even though she is ready to move on with her life as a 'single, independent' woman again, her ex-husband is not making this easy for her.

Without getting into the details, let's just say 'it's a messy & draining' situation which involves 4 kids and a lot of 'baggage from the past'.

When I was speaking with her the other day, I asked her 'How do you want this situation to play out? What do you want to happen?' At first, she did not directly answer the question. She just went back to all the negative stuff that was happening with her ex-husband. She was re-living all the negative, sticky situations over and over again.

I then gave her an analogy. I said to her ...
What if you were to get in your car, but you didn't know where you were going ...
would you get anywhere???

Then I proceeded to show how the analogy would apply to her life if she just started to visualize the outcome that she would like to see happen and what she would do with her life then.
I also told her to 'be inquisitive' and 'ask lots of questions'! Up till now, she just signs all the legal papers and assumes that her lawyer knows what she is doing and puts her 100% trust in her. However, based on the outcome of many of the situations she is in, her gut keeps on telling her ...
'Something is not right.'
'This lawyer does not have my best interests at heart.'
'I keep on getting the short end of the deal.'

Long story made short ... I saw this woman today. She was bubbling with joy and smiling from ear to ear. She bought a new car today (Certified Used at Hertz), since her old one did not have heat and was falling apart and still had her ex-husband's name on it. She asked lots of questions at the Hertz Sales place. She took herself out to lunch today. She noticed a woman that was very happy and humming a tune while she was getting her salad. She said to the woman 'Wow … I want what you have!'. The woman said 'go ahead… you can have the blue cheese dressing.'
She said 'NO, I mean the fact that you are so happy and singing ... I want that feeling!' (Now, I must tell you that this was out of character for my client ... she usually does not speak to other people). She also called a new lawyer to ask some questions that her current lawyer has still yet to address.

She went to H&R block ... the list goes on. She told me that my words were stuck in her head and that she just had to do something for herself ... the analogy of driving the car and knowing where you are going really worked for her! She was happy today!

So, where are you going? Do you have a clear vision of what you really want in your life? If not, WHY NOT?

Take an active role in your future. Yes, sometimes things do not turn out the way we would like them to, but having a vision that pulls us forward and makes us happy is something that is going to serve us far better than the vision of all that negative stuff that is happening or has happened and we keep on re-living every single day. That only drags us down more. Do yourself a favor and picture yourself in that car and decide where YOU want to go with your life.

Take some baby steps. You could feel elated, just like this woman and experience joy (maybe for the first time in a long time) --- and let me tell you, this woman's face said it all. She was different. She exuded confidence, hope, and happiness! And it was contagious…. Her kids looked happy for her and were more joyous themselves.

Yes, our happiness (or misery) is contagious to those around us. So, what type of attitude do you want to share with others and have them take on?

So, where are you driving your 'car of life' to this week, next month, this year? Think about it. May this story inspire you to take at least one action step that will put a smile on your face, like it did this woman!

Are you a Visionary, Doc?

Do you have BIG visions for your future? Do you dream big? Do you even have a vision or do you find it difficult to envision things and "see" and "imagine" your dreams?

You are a visionary whether you think you are or not -- did you know that?

The question is 'Are you using your visionary abilities to your benefit?'

Have you ever thought to yourself:
'I don't think BIG. I am NOT a visionary! I can't think beyond what's happening NOW!'

If so, let me tell you a story ...
A good friend of mine that I have known for a long time has told me that she is not a visionary like me and that she can't think beyond now. When I have asked her to envision exactly what she wants to happen in her life, she just looks at me and says 'That's not me; I can't envision things like you can!' I recently challenged her on this when she started to envision the potential negative in a situation (that didn't even happen yet). I asked her 'So tell me, how come you can cook up in your head these elaborate visions of the negative, right down to every little detail of what 'could happen', but you can't do that with what you REALLY want to happen in your life?' Then I proceeded to tell her 'You are a Visionary – you just choose to only envision the negative side of the future – That's a choice!'

And let me tell you that my friend had one hell of an elaborate, detailed, creative imagination when it came to visioning the negative aspect of what could happen in her particular situation. Some of her visions (which were tied to her fears) were quite 'out there' and far removed from her current situation. She described the series of events that 'could' happen just like a movie – with multiple scenes and the big sad ending! I don't know about you, but I think that if I am going to choose to think 'way out of the box' on what could happen in my life, I would much rather be creating positive scenarios that are 'out there' as opposed to the negative ones. Would you agree?

Back to the conversation with my friend:
Then, she proceeded to ask me 'Why do you think I do that? Why do you think I am real good at running the gamut of scenarios that are negative?' I told her that I really don't know the exact reason but that it could be a host of things. Maybe it's the way she has been brought up; maybe it's the media (she watches a lot of news and reads the paper every day); maybe it's that nobody ever brought it to her attention that she can choose to use that same imagination in the positive sense ... The list can go on. But instead of focusing on the 'Why (she thinks this way)', I told her to focus on the 'Why NOT start NOW?' (i.e., Why not start exercising your brain to imagine all the POSITIVE SCENARIOS that could happen?)

It's fascinating to me that 'the negative' side of things is something that most of us seem to be able to connect with, more than the positive side.

I told my friend that day that when I find myself going to a negative thought, I stop and remind myself that the thought I am having at that point may very well influence the outcome in that situation. Sometimes, just this reminder alone, makes me snap out of it! When the reminder doesn't work, I shift my focus to the positive side of things. My philosophy is 'if you are willing to give time to the negative, then at least give equal weight to the positive – make it 50%/50%
-- that's only fair!' The goal would be, of course, to give more weight to the positive than the negative side of a situation (at least 90% positive / 10% Negative - -that's the statistician in me - -always looking for at least 90% - -I actually prefer 95%! ). And if my friend can focus 95% of the time on the possible negative outcomes, isn't it possible that she could one day turn this around and focus 95% of the time on the positive scenarios that could occur?

I also suggested the following to my friend 'When you find yourself thinking up all the negative scenarios that could happen, ask yourself: Is this what I REALLY want to happen? Is this what God would want for me?'

Does YOUR MIND run the gamut of negative outcomes when you are experiencing a life challenge? Do you ever stop and attempt to 'run the gamut' of positive scenarios that could happen as a result of what you are experiencing?

Don't fool yourself, YOU ARE A VISIONARY! It's just a matter of how you are using your visionary abilities --- are they making you feel worse or better? If your visions move you forward and give you something to look forward to and put a smile on your face, then you are using your visionary talents to your benefit.

But if your visions only make you feel worse and put you deeper into a depression or 'negative place', then you are using your thoughts and visions to disempower you. Take note ... pay attention next time you are cookin' up all those wild visions of how bad the future can be and snap yourself out of it! Strengthen your 'positive imagination' muscle at that time – exercise it. Think out loud all the things that you would like to happen, all the things that are positive that could happen. Write these positive scenarios down. Keep on developing your ability to envision the positive outcomes. If you do, you will begin to see a change in what you attract into your life and a great improvement in your overall quality of life!

YOU ARE A VISIONARY ... Now go use it to your advantage!
