Disclaimer: A good story told by Alice, a family friend.

Positivity is not just a good trait; it's a powerful tool. My own journey has shown me that maintaining a positive outlook can transform a seemingly impossible situation into a meaningful part of life.

However, avoiding the trap of toxic positivity is crucial, as it can keep us tethered to a bad situation or habit.

Alice's story.

Alice has had one health insurance for a long time and has seen her doctors with it. Alice's doctors refused to accept the new insurance when she had a new job and health insurance.

She ignored it and paid for her annual health care. "I paid for for it as I paid for shoes and vacation", she explained.

After a few years, Alice decided to get creative instead of accepting the roadblock. She started looking for new doctors who would take her insurance. She found replacements for most, but searching for an OBGYN (women's doctor) was a challenge. Then, a lightbulb moment was these doctors were hotcakes in her area, and the waiting time for a new patient was longer.

Alice chose a family doctor after a long wait.

She saw her for the first year and saw her again last month. She summarised her visit with the family doctor, "it was the best experience I had ever had with a doctor. Doctors have roles and specialties, but I'll stick with her for the annual visit, and I can see the OBGYN if need be."

Do you know who the family doctors are and what they do?

Family doctors can take care of most things that are not too complicated. They can see children and adults and manage healthy people with no significant issues. They deliver babies, too.

Remember, everyone faces challenging situations, however you define them. They can be daunting, harmful, or simply unfair. But pause, reassess, and tap into all the resources available. Be innovative and dare to try something new. There's always a possibility for a positive outcome.

Exploring new avenues can be a catalyst for change. There's nothing wrong with trying new restaurants, social media platforms, careers, doctors, friends, hairstylists, and mechanics. It's all part of your journey of self-discovery.
