DRIVE TIME DEBRIEF: A Physician Wellness Podcast with The Whole Physician

Abundance: Episode 191

Listen Later

Tired of the "not enough" story? This week we're exploring abundance mindset—NOT toxic positivity, but a practical shift that opens up creativity, generosity, and better decision-making.

What You'll Learn:

  • Why abundance isn't about denying real problems (looking at you, 80-patient schedules!)
  • How scarcity narrows your thinking while abundance broadens it
  • The science behind Barbara Fredrickson's "broaden and build" framework
  • Why that "stuck" feeling is a leading cause of burnout

    • 5 Abundance Experiments to Try This Week:

    1. Micro gratitude - Name 3 small wins daily
    2. Micro generosity - Give one unexpected compliment or generous tip
    3. Curiosity boost - Try 20 minutes of low-stakes exploration
    4. Reframe constraints - Turn "I don't have time" into "What can I delegate?"
    5. Build buffers - Create 10-minute margins in your schedule

      6. Remember: Abundance always feels GOOD, never resentful. If you're feeling stuck, ask yourself: "What else is possible?"
