Being a physician is not easy by any means.  We live in a fast paced world, that is just getting faster and faster. 
We are constantly bombarded with messages for work or play, and other sounds from the world around us.
As for physicians, we are like race car drivers...always going at our top speed! 
We need to learn to pump the breaks before we crash into the wall of burnout.
On this episode, I spoke with Rita Farruggia, who has experience in corporate America in marketing.  She is no stranger to a fast paced life and taking work home.  Yet, she made the transition to living a balanced life.  She is self taught, and took her passion for living a wellness lifestyle and created www.happybeingwell.com.
She goes over very simple ways to practice self care throughout the day, and how to be efficient [something we physicians love to do] while doing so. 

She has resources on her page @ https://happybeingwell.com/collections/resources [journal, meditations].

What is discussed on this episode:
-Ways to rejuvenate and why it is important.
-Rejuvenate to refill your cup.
-Forgive yourself for procrastination.
-Get to know ourselves better and realize what are the roots behind our behavior? What's the motivation behind our behavior based on the life conditioning, based on the experiences that we've had. That, so that we can actually understand our psyches more.
-Better the relationship with yourself.
-Ask yourself, what is the cost of this behavior?
-Self care is not selfish!

Though I am a physician, this is not medical advice. This is only a tool that physicians can use to get ideas on how to deal with burnout and/or know they are not alone. If you are in need of medical assistance talk to your physician.
