I submitted my resignation letter October 21.
It consisted of four sentences.
Twenty two years in medicine to get to this place; four sentences to close this chapter.
I thought I'd be elated when I hit submitted on the resignation letter.
Instead I felt tears on my face and realized that I was sad.
I was grieving this career that I had dreamed about and had loved for 22 years.
It made so much sense to be sad.
When I allowed in the sadness, I also allowed in all sorts of other beautiful feelings:
gratefulness at a wonderful career in medicine, pride for a job well done, integrity for how I resigned, love for my patients and colleagues and field, and excitement for a new chapter.
When we don't let ourselves feel our sadness (or whatever negative feeling we have), we also block out the positive feelings too.
When we allow ourselves to have our sadness, we also allow in the gratefulness, pride, integrity, love, and excitement.
I felt the term "resignation letter" was super lame and loaded with negative connotations and didn't at all capture this major life transition.
I didn't want to focus on how this was an ending; I wanted to focus on how this was the beginning of something even more extraordinary.
I decided to write myself an "acceptance letter" to honor and celebrate the past 22 years AND also make room for the possibility to come.
I share the acceptance letter in this episode.
