Apply Positive Psychology
He spent years learning about positive psychology and how it can help reframe our perspective. This helps us build our attention on what matters. And that leads to more fulfillment and satisfaction.
During our conversation, Sanj gives examples of practical techniques we can learn to achieve more happiness and satisfaction. For example, he describes how to use negative visualization, and how writing in a gratitude journal can help.
We don’t want to wait for tragedy to strike before we realize in our lives how good we had it, or who in our lives was really important to us. – Dr. Sanj Katyal
He began helping others through coaching and teaching, even as he continued his clinical work. Then he partnered with three other physicians to create a program that they now offer to other physicians.
It’s called Thrive-Rx. And it is “the course they wish they had taken in medical school.” It is proven to positively impact personal wellbeing, professional fulfillment, and financial literacy.
