Ever feel like no matter what you do, it’s never enough? Like you breeze past your successes and fixate on what went wrong? You’re not alone, and today, we’re tackling that sneaky little cognitive distortion: discounting the positive.

In this episode, we break down why so many physicians downplay their wins and how this mindset fuels burnout. More importantly, we’ll give you practical, science-backed strategies to flip the script and start celebrating your victories—big and small!

✅ Why your brain is wired to focus on the negative (and how to retrain it!)
✅ The power of affirmative reflection—why asking “What went well today?” is a game-changer
✅ How writing down wins shifts your mindset and builds resilience
✅ The magic of peer support—why celebrating together makes all the difference
✅ How shifting from “I failed” to “I learned” can transform the way you see challenges

We even bring in a Super Bowl-worthy mindset shift (thanks, Jalen Hurts!) to show how elite performers use self-reflection to come back stronger. 💪

This isn’t just about feeling good—it’s about thriving in medicine. So let’s start celebrating our wins, supporting each other, and building a more positive, resilient mindset. You’re already doing incredible things—now it’s time to recognize them!
