Happy New Year [2022] from The Worthy Physician!

Going forward, Burnout is real.  Self care is not selfish.  In each episode, hopefully the listener has learned something.  Mindfulness is needed to be practiced.  It can be short and simple.  Label and honor your Emotions.  Happiness is found internally not via material things…it is okay to talk about Mental Health, and motivation can come from the simplest things.  In 2022, how are you going to fill your bucket of energy?

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.
