“I think experiencing contentment is really about savoring the moment of joy or happiness when you’re in it.” -Victoria Silas MD

Lead Coach at DocWorking, Jill Farmer and Coach Victoria Silas MD get together to discuss the real meaning of contentment and techniques you can use to feel joy in your life every day. What is contentment? How does contentment differ from complacency? These questions and more are answered in this wonderfully meaningful episode. Do you ever find yourself avoiding feelings of joy because you are afraid it won’t last? Have you ever felt suspicious working that shift when someone says, “The night is quiet so far!” or thought to yourself “These cases come in threes” when you’ve seen two… As humans we can be a superstitious lot sometimes, and that’s not wasted in healthcare! We hope this episode will help you to recognize and claim joy multiple times each day, and feel the freedom in contentment.
