Lunch And Learn With Dr. Berry

One of the common questions I ask my patients right before the encounter is over is how their sleep is. For a few of them they respond that their sleep is amazing & probably sleep a bit too much but for most of them sleep problems have become such a common thing that they they just deal with it. Whether it be that they have trouble falling asleep or trouble staying asleep the results are still the same. The dream of getting 8 hours of sleep are something that they have never experierenced. If I had a penny for everytime one of my patients asked how they could get a good night sleep I'd be rich.

Any person who embarks on a new journey always has a point in their path where there is no looking in any direction but forward. That is what Affirmation 2016 has meant for me. What started out as a blog post turned into the blueprint for achievement goals for me in 2017. Like many, every year we secretly make our new years resolutions for better things in the following year but I went as far as putting it out there publicly not only as motivation but to serve as the public announcement that I would be a better clinician, person and excel in all my outside endeavors. It is during this time that I initially laid out my plans to better brand myself not only has a physician but as a thought leader & entrepreneur. The work of my affirmations also helped me create my first eBook, titled Affirmation 2016.
