Do you ever feel yourself surrounded by people, but still feel lonely? 

I had a conversation with a friend about this not long ago. 

As humans, we crave connection. 

We live in a paradox where we are more connected than ever through technology, yet often we feel more disconnected. 

This week on The Zen Pharmacist Podcast, we chat about The Power of Community and How to Find Your Tribe.

How do you incorporate self-care into your busy schedule?

I remember when I first started out after residency in my first job as a critical care pharmacist.  I was responsible for creating a critical care position in a 20 bed medical ICU. I felt so much pressure and passion towards elevating the clinical services at my hospital.

I pushed myself so much that within that first year after residency, I began throwing up in the middle of the night. I would wake up from sleep and get sick multiple times.   At the time, I didn't believe it was stress-related, but it most certainly was stress related.

Whether you're an experienced healthcare professional or you're just starting out, incorporating a regular self-care routine elevates you and everyone around you.

This week on the podcast, we chat about:

💙 What wellness is and why it's important

When I think of Serenity Skills, I always think of the Seinfeld episode...Serenity Now.

George's dad listened to a cassette tape that told him to say "Serenity Now" to calm him down and lower his blood pressure.

Kramer got egged by some kids outside and he used "Serenity Now" to be at ease.

Later in the episode, they say that saying "Serenity Now" doesn't work, it just bottles up the anger until you explode...

Although I believe intentions (like "Serenity Now") are powerful tools, if you say it, but don't believe and feel it, then you likely won't experience the serenity you seek. 

You need tools to physiologically shift your nervous system.

In this episode,

Find out the 7 Serenity Skills that Actually work for frazzled Pharmacists.
