Use “habit triggers” to bring out your winning personality. A habit trigger is a simple sentence you repeat to yourself to reinforce a positive attitude before meeting patients. You might say, “I’m about to meet my favorite celebrity!” or “I am great at my job!” Try using a habit trigger before every patient encounter and you’ll discover that it really works, bringing out a more effective “you” and establishing a habit of success.
