Enjoying Time Off From Work


Listen Later

Having boundaries and work-life integration can be elusive, especially for physicians. Thinking about work when not at work or falling prey to the idea that some things are a waste of time… thoughts like these are all too common. However, there is a truth that revolves around needing time to be restored. Without it, you aren’t able to present your best self to the world. 

For many of us, I believe the issue isn’t as much in making time to get away but the difficulty in actually getting away. That is, being able to remove yourself, to unplug not just physically from work but emotionally and mentalIy. Without this ability, we can find ourselves with time off but unable to relax into it. That’s why, as odd as it may sound, we need to intentionally learn how to enjoy time off work.

“If you look at nature, you look at the human body – rest and having sort of a restorative time is a critical component of how life thrives and how life is sustained.”  – Dr. Sara Dill
