TAKE HOME POINTS FROM PAYAL

1. People who are happy with their work do it better! 
2. Set boundaries for yourself because you cannot care for your children if you are running on empty. When you are not in a good mindset they will notice!
3. Although you may disagree with your spouse at the moment it is important to show respect, especially if in front of children. 

WALK AWAY ASKING YOURSELF

• How do I value myself as a person apart from my role as a parent or spouse?
• How can I integrate mindfulness into my parenting or doctoring? How can I focus on the moment without worrying about the past or the future?
• What boundary or goal can I set today that will help me prioritize myself and, in turn, my spouse and family?
