Whether we realize it or not, rules influence every aspect of our lives. Especially those unwritten rules that everyone seems to know and abide by anyway. But what exactly am I talking about when I say rules? It’s not things like obeying speed limits or following proper procedures. I’m talking about those rules that affect how we think, what we believe, and ultimately, how we act. Those unwritten rules that keep us stuck. In this episode, I dig into this concept of rules and how they dictate our lives, particularly as physicians. I explain what I mean by rules and give multiple examples. I also touch on a concept by https://www.vishen.com/codex (Vishen Lakhiani called BRULES). I think you’ll relate to many of the unwritten rules I bring up and I hope it causes you to question and rewrite some of your own. “So often in coaching, clients will just tell me the rules, like they’re true. And I know I did the same thing, and I still do in some areas. We all have these blind spots.” – Dr. Sara Dill What You’ll LearnThe BRULES concept (credit to Vishen Lakhiani) Common unwritten rules Questioning your rules Rewriting your rules
