Doctors and Stress
Stress and Doctors ... seem to go hand-in-hand.
As a Doctor you deal with:
* Time pressures and demands
* Dealing with life and death situations
* Long Work Hours / not much "play time"
* Not many opportunities to share personal feelings -- no support systems to support you during stressful times
* Difficult and demanding patients
* Problems with no solutions
* Expectations to be indispensable and INVINCIBLE
* Financial Challenges
* Insurance Issues
* Politics within the Medical Industry and establishments you work within (e.g., Hospitals, etc.)
* Challenge to maintain healthy relationships with spouse and kids (when you're at work most of the time)
* Lawsuits
* Chronic fatigue
* Being Perfect all the time (after all, if you make a mistake with a patient, then what?)
This list makes me tired just reading it. But yet, you deal with many (if not all) of these things on a daily basis!
Saving lives is not optional for you ... it's what you are in this profession for.
However, how's YOUR life holding up?
Ask yourself these questions ... If you were going to a doctor (Ok, humor me ... pretend you were going to a doctor) and you knew that he or she was feeling the same way you do during those high stressful times, would you feel 100% comfortable with the decisions and the manner in which that doctor would handle you as a patient? Do you think that Doctor would be bringing to you his or her 100%?
#1 Would you want to go to a doctor who is stressed, tired, overwhelmed and unhappy?
OR
#2 Would you want to go to a Doctor who is managing stress extremely well and has a smile on their face all the time and is giving you their full undivided attention?
Being a perfectionist yourself, I am sure that you would expect perfectionism from everyone else around you too -- especially a doctor that you are going to for your personal health care.
So, would you want Doctor #1 or Doctor #2?
So, what are you personally doing to handle all this STRESS?
I specialize in working with Doctors who feel like their work lifestyle (STRESS, STRESS and more STRESS) is beginning to have a negative impact on their overall health and well-being. It's bound to happen... stress takes a toll on the body (it's not discriminatory against Doctor's bodies!). You know that as a Doctor. You probably see cases of it all the time.
However, what strategies are you implementing to manage your stress better? It's part of a comprehensive "wellness plan". Manage the stress in your life more effectively and you will improve your overall health and well-being. I am a Certified Life Coach for Doctors and this is what I help Doctors with.
Call me today at 541-686-1326 to schedule your complimentary, conditional consultation and begin the process of enhancing your overall health and well-being by managing the stressors in your life far more effectively.
STRESS and YOUR HEALTH .... they are highly negatively correlated with each other!
Rank yourself on a stress scale of 1-10:
1= I never feel stressed; I always handle personal and professional situations with a level-head and feel calm even when the pressures are abundant. I know that the choice I make to respond to a stressful environment is a key factor in how well I manage stress.
to
10= I ALWAYS feel stressed -- it shows up in everything I do! I feel tired, anxious, unhappy, overwhelmed and ready to "burst at the seams". All this stress is taking a toll on my health. I need to change something OR ELSE ... !
Did you score high on the STRESS SCALE? If you did, YOUR overall health and well-being is at risk!
If you scored a 5 or higher on this 10-point scale then do yourself a favor and call me today to schedule your complimentary, conditional coaching consultation!
To your Health!
