If only...

 On this episode, I share with you a very common damaging phrase with a big stressful impact.This phrase starts each sentence off with “If only…”  It is really common (me included) to start off a sentence saying “if only….” (and then you fill in the blank) over and over again, believing that if things were different, it would change everything and then things would be so much better. Most of the time (if not all of the time), that actually isn't the case. And there is blame and shame involved in speaking this way, which only makes matters worse, which makes you feel even more awful and then even more stressed, angry, upset, & frustrated with yourself. What can we start our sentences off with instead? You can swap "If only" with "Even if". We explore different sentences using these 2 phrases and the shift in how it makes you feel (spoiler alert: so much better!)---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Earn CME:Reflect on how this Podcast applies to your day-to-day and earn AMA PRA Category 1 CMEs here: https://earnc.me/Wo11Hj----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Register for Rx Inner Peace: A Physician's Guide for Self-Care (25 CME):https://mahec.net/event/65278Check out StressFreeMD:https://www.stressfreemd.net/Physicians schedule your FREE 30-Minute Stress Relief Strategy Call:https://go.oncehub.com/StressReliefStrategyCallGet your 3 FREE stress relieving videos:https://www.stressfreemd.net/free-self-care-videosPhysicians: join our free private physicians-only Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/thephysiciansselfcarecommunityFollow me on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/stressfreemd/Connect with me on LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/robyntigermd/Follow me on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/robyntigermdFollow me on Twitter:https://twitter.com/robyntigermdExclusive physician CME accredited programming: Rx Inner Peacehttps://www.stressfreemd.net/rxinnerpeaceSelf-Care Shop--accredited programs for healthcare and open to everyonehttps://www.stressfreemd.net/selfcareshopPrivate 1:1 Coachinghttps://www.stressfreemd.net/[email protected] website:https://www.podpage.com/the-stressfreemd-podcast/
