Another drive home episode here. A brief word about non-verbal communication. Kids might not always use words but they say a lot with body language...learn to keep track of this. I'll tell you how you can start to speak 'non-verbalnese'

Hey my friends. Welcome to 2023. 

Is this the year that you become influential? In your life, in the life of others you love and care about? I say yes...and I will show you how! I invite you to join me.

This episode is a special one for me. I'm podcasting from Kuching, Sarawak (my hometown) and although I indulge myself in a bit of intellectualising; I've marked the section here in case you want to skip over it, but i invite you to have a listen...you won't regret it.

These thoughts are my own. They are my opinion and doesn't constitute medical advice. I share my biased opinion here to generate discussion.

Who gets to make decisions about healthcare?...should it not be patients ?

Who gets to inform us of treatment options for medical treatment?...should it not be doctors?

What if parents disagree with doctors about what treatment they want for their child?...should it still not be the parent that makes the ultimate decision?

A recent case in NZ makes a real mess of things. Obfuscation of roles and blurring of responsibility etc. 

A short summary: NZ parents didn't want doctors giving their 4 month old child, blood from a COVID 19 vaccinated donor during a surgical procedure. Doctors asked one of our courts to hand over decision making rights to the doctors. Parents not happy about that.

Would you be happy about that too?

Simplicity is not basic, but it's basically how we get to awesomeness. Any high level activity or skill requires a deep understanding of fundamental ideas that must be grasped at an advanced level in order to gain mastery...but many people fail to do the work because they think simple is boring...believe me it's not. Stay with me till the end for a gift to you from me...which i think you'll really like. Its' Christmas 2022!!!!! www.huddlewisdom.com/practice Spoiler: discount code for 70% off the price of the course...till the end of decemember. But you have to listen till the end.

Another one from my drive home. 

This time, decision fatigue...

You feel exhausted and you don't know why. Well you probably do but some people actually don't know. 

What are the signs of decision fatigue? How do you tackle it?

The process of learning is not straight forward. I'm sure anyone reading this who has any experience working on skill acquisition will know the frustration of hitting walls and plateaus in training or learning. The way to deal with this, is to not care...and just keep training! but pull back on the intensity if you're feeling burnt out...just take it down a notch. Take stock. Think about where you want to be. What are your goals. Break them down smaller and laser focus on hitting smaller goals. Soon you'll be moving along just fine.
