Cindy Tsai, MD
Physician
April 8, 2023

We all know that life has its ups and downs.

And sometimes life gets really messy — and there are days and times that really suck! (No toxic positivity here.)

But we’re all just trying our best with what we have at that moment in time. (Don’t forget to give yourself some credit!)

That being said, there are also some habits that you may be (unconsciously) doing that are making …

We hear it all the time.

Practice gratitude. Be thankful for what you have.

The evidence is clear. Being grateful does offer numerous scientifically proven benefits.

It makes sense why gratitude is good for you, from improved relationships to decreased physical pain to better sleep to increased happiness and self-esteem.

Cindy Tsai, MD
Physician
July 25, 2022

Are you a perfectionist?

Did you know that perfectionists are actually some of the biggest procrastinators? Yes, really.

In theory, perfectionism sounds like a good thing. Who doesn’t want to do and be their best? It can even seem like a harmless way to motivate yourself.

But the reality is, nothing is perfect.

What does “perfect” even mean? What does it look like? Who has the instruction manual?

It’s different for everyone. What’s “perfect” in …

“The email on your account was changed. If you didn’t change your email address, you can secure your account here.”

I saw this email from Instagram and immediately had a sinking feeling in my stomach.

I clicked the link, but it was too late.

My Instagram account was hacked, and I lost access to everything.

Until …

Cindy Tsai, MD
Physician
March 3, 2022

“I love selling,” said no doctor ever.

Doctors often love buying. Expensive cars. Fancy watches. Luxury vacations. Hello, lifestyle upgrade! But very few love selling.

I find it is a common response to look at salespeople with disdain. Pharmaceuticals. Medical devices. EMR systems. Everything. Everyone is always trying to sell us something! Ugh!

I admit that I was one of them. I thought I didn’t need to “sell.” Doctors are in demand, after …

Should you stay or leave medicine?

Cindy Tsai, MD
Physician
September 11, 2021

I left my primary care practice earlier this year to focus on life coaching. Why did I leave? Because I wanted to do more and make a bigger impact. I remember how eager I was to complete medical training as I approached the light at the end of the tunnel. I thought I could finally relax and enjoy life as an attending after all the delayed gratification from becoming a …
