I've been using ChatGPT the past 6 months to streamline some of my solopreneur business processes and in the healthcare realm, with great success in each.
I'm firmly in charge, but to get ideas about how to more efficiently complete a task or have my clients complete tasks has been fun and incredibly helpful. I ask it nothing about my core work - that's all me and I don't need its help for that. More of my energy is available for my teaching and I've seen the impact.
With healthcare it's been wildly helpful. I've lived with AFib for over 12 years. I'm also neurodivergent - neurocomplex, to use the term I first heard from Lindsey Mackereth. Every time I've mentioned my highly sensitive nervous system as an important aspect of my being and approach to care, I've basically been dismissed by doctors.
5 months ago, I was facing daily AFib, suspected the medication at the time was worsening things, and only had one option left - a medication I was afraid of because it had toxic side effects.
The first time I used ChatGPT was for help in understanding a research article provided by my doctor on the medication. The result was life-altering.
My sensitive nervous system and focus on nervous system regulation were understood - finally. Filters through which to answer the questions the doctors wouldn't. No ego or power dynamics involved. Which meant highly customized information that helped me see that this med would likely be excellent for me. Just enough complexity to help my neurocomplex brain relax from the anxiety of uncertainty, but not so much as to be overwhelming. I took the med and it was like flipping a light switch - heart immediately calmed, it's been that way ever since, and I got my life back. Major big deal.
Plus, with this helpful tool, the pressure I always felt around trying to be understood and get info from doctors was relieved. I do still ultimately count on my doctor and am not replacing him - and shared how I was using ChatGPT. Success all around.
Using AI to navigate healthcare system challenges with billing and insurance is also incredibly helpful. I've been through loads of such challenges and AI helps by doing the cognitive and emotional translating.
I can "dump" a situation to it - express my frustration, share the details of what I need - and it helps strategize and drafts a professional sounding email or letter that gets the job done. I used to have to do all of that myself and it is a huge relief to get that help.
I still always bat around the language with it - "that sounds too flat and AI..." - the ultimate decision is clearly mine. But used this way I find it to be really helpful.
I agree with the points made by the author. Used thoughtfully and for the best purposes, I find AI to be quite helpful.
I understand a large part of how that speed is achieved. I had to apply the upgrade myself, while debating with AI last year. In effect, you gain processing time, in-the-moment, by removing all coping thoughts that usually need to be processed first.
A big part of enabling this loss of coping thoughts, is to adopt a balanced, but positive-first mindset. This means, you build inside yourself a low resistance path for new information to be processed within the moment, rather than having to leave some issues unresolved, which tends to create stress, and drags us out of the moment.
By increasing the available processing power, and by building an approach that counters challenges with positive-first analysis, a key self-transcendent state is achieved. This, I call, "Peak-Growth". This is where every moment is processed within that moment and true flow becomes a habit - One is able to give that moment one's maximum attention.
Also related is Constant Gratitude in the Moment, which leads to an organismic flow of peak-experiences that lead to further attention to the moment being needed, and is, I think, a pre-cursor to the above.
Very interesting!
