There were some lows- Not feeling great but still wanting to be professional, friendly and helpful to patients and some paperwork processing problems. There were also some highs- an entire day of extremely happy cataract surgery patients and my son’s 6^th birthday party. So my team and I rode the ups and downs. Which I suppose is how life really is.]]> http://carolynandersonmd.com/blog/be-responsible-for-the-energy-you-bring-into-the-room/feed 1 http://carolynandersonmd.com/blog/book-announcement-energy-boost-how-to-manage-your-energy-and-maximize-your-potential http://carolynandersonmd.com/blog/book-announcement-energy-boost-how-to-manage-your-energy-and-maximize-your-potential#respond Tue, 07 Oct 2014 06:44:23 +0000 http://carolynandersonmd.com/?p=1961 Writing a book has been a dream of mine for a number of years. I have a passion for expressing my ideas in the written form. It just always seemed that after I completed everything I had to do for the day there was little time or energy for my passions. I can hardly believe I'm finally announcing this, but I am thrilled to say I finally did it! I've written a book called the Energy Boost: How to Manage Your Energy and Maximize Your Potential and I used the principles you'll learn in the book to give me the Energy to actually get the book completed.]]> http://carolynandersonmd.com/blog/book-announcement-energy-boost-how-to-manage-your-energy-and-maximize-your-potential/feed 0 http://carolynandersonmd.com/blog/may-article-highlights http://carolynandersonmd.com/blog/may-article-highlights#respond Thu, 29 May 2014 07:16:30 +0000 http://carolynandersonmd.com/?p=1894 In this month's highlights there are articles on: America's Workers: Stressed Out, Overwhelmed, Totally Exhausted The Confidence Gap Male Executives Don't Feel Guilt, See Work-Life Balance as a Women's Problem The Sleep Doctor A Potential Cure for Jet Lag An emerging treatment plan for chronic pain And many more....]]> http://carolynandersonmd.com/blog/may-article-highlights/feed 0 http://carolynandersonmd.com/blog/may-medical-article-highlights http://carolynandersonmd.com/blog/may-medical-article-highlights#respond Thu, 29 May 2014 07:00:12 +0000 http://carolynandersonmd.com/?p=1911 In this month's highlights there are articles on: The Importance of Checklists The Best Way to Choose Residents A potential cure for jet lag and night shift workers Misleading Doctor Ratings And more... ]]> http://carolynandersonmd.com/blog/may-medical-article-highlights/feed 0 http://carolynandersonmd.com/blog/stress-management-tips http://carolynandersonmd.com/blog/stress-management-tips#respond Thu, 22 May 2014 04:30:21 +0000 http://carolynandersonmd.com/?p=1876 Do you ever think you have it all together ...until you don't. Do you ever feel like things are going smoothly and then life gets in the way. Do you ever feel on top of the world and then something happens that breaks your heart or stretches you to the brink emotionally? The last couple of weeks of my life has been like this. Everything was going along well and then my mother in law suffered a massive bleed to the brain and the week dramatically changed course. My husband and I tried to spread our time between work, being there for our son and being with her at the hospital. The stress level was running high, and to be honest still is. Sadly, she recently passed away. Now the stress is different but still very real.  As I was dragging my way through the last couple of weeks I thought about how I could set myself up to better handle the stress. 5 Stress Management Tips]]> http://carolynandersonmd.com/blog/stress-management-tips/feed 0 http://carolynandersonmd.com/blog/mothers-day http://carolynandersonmd.com/blog/mothers-day#respond Tue, 06 May 2014 07:25:28 +0000 http://carolynandersonmd.com/?p=1856 Mother's Day can be such a bittersweet time. It is a special day to celebrate our mothers, but for those of us who have lost our mothers, did not have a caring mother, or have not been able to experience the joys of motherhood despite trying it can be a painful reminder. This Mother’s Day will be my third year without my beloved mom and my sixth as a mother myself. I miss my mom everyday but there are certain days like her birthday, Christmas and Mother’s day where her absence is felt more strongly.]]> http://carolynandersonmd.com/blog/mothers-day/feed 0 http://carolynandersonmd.com/blog/april-article-highlights http://carolynandersonmd.com/blog/april-article-highlights#respond Wed, 30 Apr 2014 04:17:57 +0000 http://carolynandersonmd.com/?p=1769 Twitter and Facebook pages and have also collected some of the best posts and given you short summaries of the articles in one monthly round-up post.

Eat well, get enough sleep, exercise regularly and try to reduce your stress. It sounds so simple but it’s a never ending balancing act. While I have found meditation helpful in reducing my stress and grounding me each day, it was not easy to get into the practice. In the video and post below I’ve shared a technique for an active meditation exercise you can do in just a few minutes. In addition to helping you clear your head it gets you out into the great outdoors and gives you a great sense of inner calm for the rest of the day. ]]> http://carolynandersonmd.com/blog/meditation-on-the-move/feed 0 http://carolynandersonmd.com/blog/6-ways-to-make-someone-like-and-trust-you-in-60-seconds-or-less http://carolynandersonmd.com/blog/6-ways-to-make-someone-like-and-trust-you-in-60-seconds-or-less#respond Wed, 16 Apr 2014 04:09:57 +0000 http://carolynandersonmd.com/?p=1788 http://carolynandersonmd.com/blog/6-ways-to-make-someone-like-and-trust-you-in-60-seconds-or-less/feed 0
