Now Is The Time to Rest
Nov 29, 2024
If you are reading this the day it arrives to you, today is the day after Thanksgiving in the US, so-called “Black Friday.” That’s right; let’s put people right into a shopping frenzy after the same people have typically spent weeks preparing for and then executing an elaborate meal, trying to meet and exceed everyone’s expectations. Dumped right from one major holiday into preparing for another if you celebrate Hanukah, Christmas, Kwanzaa or any other December-ish holiday.
And that’s what’s going on AT HOME for many people.
My friends, you deserve some rest.
The world continues to spin the narrative of busy-ness and hustle and planning mind-blowing and meaningful experiences for others. And most of us here, women physicians and healthcare providers, are culturally enmeshed in these traditions, taking on extra work to care for others, in addition to the usual (many) demands on our time.
So I want to invite you to check in with yourself, and ask yourself, what do I NEED today?
If you love grabbing deals and it energizes you, great.
But if you are bleary-eyed and exhausted, and magically with the long weekend free, I invite you to REST. Really.
Rest without guilt.
Rest with the intention to restore.
Rest so that you have the brain space to consider what is important to you in the final upcoming month of 2024, and decide how you will prioritize your time and energy.
That’s the work we’ll be doing, starting THIS SUNDAY, December 1st, in Unbound: Women Physicians Reclaiming Their Lives. We’ll be creating space for curiosity, relearning how to tune in with our own wants and needs, and learning how to set boundaries with ourselves and others, kindly, so that we can change our experience of this crazy life! If you are a woman physician, and yearning to do SOMETHING differently in your life but now knowing WHAT or HOW, get registered today. I’ll be your guide, helping you work through your own thoughts, beliefs and obstacles to get to what you truly want for yourself. Balance, peace, calm, self-compassion, boundaries, fun. Let’s do this together. Click here to register today. The doors are closing soon!
