The ball came down and as the crowds gathered in Times Square, I couldn’t help but reflect on 2015 which was, for me, like the weather, unpredictable!
Every year you hope for something better, however in order to achieve that one must make take initiative, be willing to make changes and sometimes even let things go. Without a doubt, this year was a big year for changes in the medical industry. ”Independent client providers” are working longer hours making sure compliancy and coding is regulated to meet insurance factor needs. All the while, our billing department consistently goes the extra mile to take care of our clients. As we begin 2016, I will also take on the role of compliancy officer. (Don’t laugh!) I will be responsible for risk management.
As I think about the year we are bidding goodbye to, I can’t help but think about how it is the people in our lives that make them. I am fortunate to have a beautiful family at home, but I also have an amazing family at work. And yes, the people you work with are your “other” family. You spend 8+ hours a day with these people, 5 days a week – you know their ups, their downs, what makes them tick, what makes them happy, what makes them sad! If you love the people you work with (and I do), you love your work even more! I am in awe of my team and how well they’ve handled all the change this past year.
Don’t beat yourself up about making New Year’s resolutions that you won’t be able to keep. Just make one promise: Be fabulous and have fun with your friends and family every day, at home and at work. Find the love. It’s always there. If you’re having a good time wherever you are and whatever you are doing, you will be innately healthier, happier and stronger – and better equipped to make your dreams happen!
At DASHA® we help you enhance your well-being®, a message we hope you carry with you out our doors into the real world. What makes you happy? How do you take care of yourself? Is it vacations, quality time with your girlfriends, acupuncture? Resolve to do more of it in 2016. Only you have the power to stop yourself.
I’m going to borrow a great philosophy from the great American poet Ralph Waldo Emerson: “Write it on your heart that every day is the best day of the year.”
Bring it on 2016!
Wishing you health, peace, prosperity, love and laughter today and in the year ahead!
Healthy Regards,
Shannon Russo-Pollack
