For stressed-out physicians, the art of letting go  

DateWednesday, January 6, 2010 at 10:35AM

The Entrepreneurial MD Newsletter article for January kicks off 2010 with ne'er a backward glance, as I honor my commitment to moving on and embracing not only a new year but also a new decade.

In this month's article “Letting Go” means never having to say you’re sorry!", I confess my own needs for letting go and offer questions to provoke your thinking.

Already I feel a difference - two (small!) events that would have created a stressful reaction have rolled off my back. I've shrugged my mental shoulders, grimaced a little, and stepped ahead.

Still having a hard time with slowing down tho' - brings up guilty feelings, as I know I have a long list of tasks to finish at present. Including my annual end-of-year letter to far-flung family and friends (never mind the lack of smiley family photo holiday cards - maybe that will be a goal for rounding out 2010!)

Good luck with your "letting go"!
