Description
It is very hard for those of us in medicine to pause or slow down. We were trained and acculturated to think that the pause and rest are not worthwhile. We were trained to think that pausing and resting is complacent and/or lazy. If we were to pause or rest we would definitely fall behind. In actuality-- the more you do the more you need to rest. Our society glorifies busy, empty, and exhausted. We are addicted to busyness and productivity. This leads us to burnout, exhaustion, frustration, and overwhelm. Taking time to rest and recharge is an undervalued step in being maximally efficient while creating a sustainable life and career. When we pause and are present with ourselves we have an increased capacity to be present with others. When we model for those around us how to take agency over our own lives, we set an example. What message do we send when we don't? Are you addicted to busy, action, moving, doing? Is true rest and/or relaxation hard or uncomfortable for you? What stories do you tell yourself about pausing and the value of rest and recovery? How could you bring in breaks and pockets of rest into your days? If you want to learn to prioritize the pause, perform at the highest level, and have a sustainable career and family life, I invite you to coach with me www.jessiemahoneymd.com If you want a speaker for your group on any of the topics discussed in the Mindful Healers Podcast, reach out to Dr. Liang www.awakenbreath.org Dr. Mahoney www.jessiemahoneymd.com/speaking *Nothing in this episode is medical advice.
