Listen "Happiness at work: what is science telling us"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode we talk about the 3 main proven skills that contribute to your happiness at work as a dentist: presence, gratitude and resilience.
Presence will allow you to remain centered and aware and be less reactive, gratitude grounds you and it's a great way to balance the negative mindset, resilience will allow you to recover from adversity and thrive. All of this with practical examples and real work situations from everyday dentistry.
To enjoy your Dentistry journey it's possible, if you learn and train these 3 skills we guarantee you will be a happier and (even) better Dentist.
Here is a gratitude exercise for you to try: when you find yourself stuck in a constant state of worry, try to pause for a second and ask yourself one or two of these questions:
- What have I learned recently that helped me grow in my job?
- What physical abilities do I have but I take for granted?
- What did I see today that was beautiful?
- Who at work am I happy to see and why?
- What opportunities do I currently have that I'm grateful for?
- What am I better today than I was a year ago?
By doing this you immediately change your attention and you will feel lighter and happier (due to the release of dopamine and serotonin).
