In today's Episode #64, our host, Dr. Sarah Smith, engages in a thought-provoking conversation with Dr. Priyanka Venugopal, a board-certified OBGYN physician. Together, they dive into the importance of finding impactful and memorable ways to learn, the detrimental effects of pressure and worry, and the significance of embracing satisfaction and contentment in both work and personal life.

Dr. Venugopal shares her personal journey of transforming her mindset and habits to create a more fulfilling and sustainable approach to medicine and life.

Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode:

1️⃣    Dialogue with Emotions: Breaking free from the pressure, worry, and doubt that often hold us back. Invite emotions like "satisfied," "sufficient," and "content" to the board meeting of your mind. Engage in a dialogue with these emotions to change the dynamics and create new habits, ultimately leading to a reduced sense of fatigue and a shift in mindset.

2️⃣     Redefining Time: Time often carries too much responsibility in our lives. Challenge the narrative of not having enough time and introduce the idea of bringing play into small moments, without negotiation or self-criticism. By making decisions and following through without drama, we can find more joy and balance in our lives.

3️⃣     Passion-Driven Learning: Unlearn pressure-driven studying and instead embrace genuine passion and curiosity. This highlights the importance of finding impactful and memorable ways to learn and connecting knowledge to real-life situations.
