The Worthy Physician

Surrender. The Strength in Letting Go.

We rethink surrender as a skill for physicians: not quitting, but aligning with reality to protect energy, clarity, and compassion. We share the serenity prayer, simple pauses, and the “just be” mindset to loosen the grip of control and reduce anxiety.

• redefining surrender as strength, not defeat
• the serenity prayer as a practical lens
• medicine’s culture of control and its costs
• how overplanning fuels anxiety and fatigue
• micro-practices to pause, reflect, and reset
• accepting limits, asking for help, resting without guilt
• moving from comparison to presence and alignment
• stillness as a gift that restores focus
• choosing ease without abandoning effort


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.
