Dr. Brett’s Corner™ | Finding Peace During Troubled Times | Dr. Brett S. Hirsch, D.O. 

We can’t always control the news, other people’s behavior, or what tomorrow may bring. But we *can* choose where we place our attention, how we respond, and what we allow to take up space within us. In this week’s Dr. Brett’s Corner™, Dr. Hirsch shares a physician’s perspective on protecting your peace and the simple practices he uses in his own life to stay grounded when the world feels heavy. Sometimes it starts with something as simple as one breath, one quiet moment, and one choice to focus on what you *can* control.  Peace doesn’t require the world around you to be peaceful. It simply requires YOU to be peaceful.

Dr. Brett's Corner™ | Why Gratitude Is One of the Healthiest Habits I Practice | Dr. Brett S. Hirsch, D.O.

Every morning, before my feet ever touch the floor, I pause and think of 5 things to be grateful for. Some mornings they are big things, my family, my health, my opportunity to care for patients.  Other mornings they're simple - a sunrise, a good cup of coffee, or another chance to make a difference. That small habit has become one of the most important parts of my day.
