Here's how you can recharge and rejuvenate outside of work while working with physicians.

I practice mindfulness and gratitude. I begin each day listing what I am grateful for. Throughout the day I look for opportunities to be more present and mindful. I will do a yoga class, breathe work (can be done anywhere and anytime they are needed, even at stressful meeting with physicians) or my favorite activity, meditative walking in nature. Getting outside and walking while letting my thoughts wander helps me to feel energized and ready to take on the next challenge.

When working alongside physicians, it is crucial to find ways to recharge and rejuvenate outside of work in order to maintain a healthy work-life balance. One way to achieve this is by prioritizing self-care activities such as exercise, meditation, or spending quality time with loved ones. Engaging in hobbies or interests outside of the workplace can also help alleviate stress and prevent burnout. It is important to set boundaries and learn how to disconnect from work-related tasks during personal time. . By taking proactive steps to care for oneself outside of work, healthcare professionals can improve their overall job satisfaction and performance while working with physicians.

If your facility offers a gym or massage area, take advantage of them and put them to good use. A massage in the same facility works wonders as you do not have to drive to one after a long hectic day at work. Just walk on over and have your masseuse take care of those kinks. The gym will have you concentrating on your work out and leave your hectic day behind you.

Physical Activity: Engage in regular exercise or physical activity that you enjoy, such as jogging, yoga, or swimming. Physical movement not only boosts energy levels but also improves overall well-being. Mindfulness and Meditation: Practice mindfulness or meditation to reduce stress and promote mental clarity. Even short sessions of deep breathing exercises can help calm the mind and increase focus. Creative Pursuits: Explore creative outlets such as painting, writing, or playing a musical instrument. These activities stimulate the brain and provide a refreshing break from work-related responsibilities. Nature Retreats: Spend time outdoors in natural settings. Whether it's hiking in the mountains, relaxing at the beach.

Working in medicine is stressful. The pressures that physicians are under are immense. And those feelings do often overflow in to staff often. After work I usually go to the gym and catch up with friends / family to help me relieve stress. Exercise has been by biggest friend as a stress reliever on those exceptionally tough days when clinics have a heavy number of patients.

I have a friend who is also in leadership and we used to plan periodic walk meetings in the morning. In one hour we had physical activity, social connectedness and solved problems in between admiring landscaping. It's been a while since we did it. This may be the universe giving a reminder.

It's Brisk-walk for me.. I personally alight from my car or any other means I use on a daily basis to take long Brisk walks . And oh my heart confirms that I am doing well🤣by beating a little faster when I take the stairs to the 3rd floor where I reside. I also purposefully jump around with my kids with exaggerated energy...They may think it's fun but I know I am keeping up with health 😌 Do whatever makes you tick that is healthy of course.

A frase antiga grega"Mens sana in corpore sano". Na Grécia Antiga, muitos filósofos eram amantes das práticas físicas. Nos ensinamentos, os pensadores recomendavam aos discípulos que cultivassem o exercício não apenas da mente, mas também do corpo, pois segundo eles, corpo e mente são inseparáveis. Eu costumo ir além, mente corpo e o mundo individual precisam estar alinhados.

I have been moving since I was born… hard for me to understand my patients who haven’t found physical activity to be the most effective stress management tool out there!

It is SO easy to get wrapped in work…so wrapped that you cite “working with people all day is “social” “…. While it is, it’s not the same as family and friends… Find time for the latter… it’s life saving!

Estar atento plenamente e presente exige disciplina com tantas distrações. Gosto muito de ler Santo Agostinho e sua reflexão sobre os tempos. Disse Ele: “É impróprio afirmar que os tempos são três: pretérito, presente e futuro. Mas talvez fosse próprio dizer que os tempos são três: presente das coisas passadas, presente das presentes, presente das futuras. Existem, pois, estes três tempos na minha mente que não vejo em outra parte: lembrança presente das coisas passadas, visão presente das coisas presentes e esperança presente das coisas futuras.” A reflexão é muito contemporânea e explicam muito a saúde mental mundial reforçando a necessidade de momentos de presente.

I call this a "mental pause". Often thoughts are racing and taking a moment to focus on something like breathing or watching nature, and genuinely pausing all the thoughts to self reset is so beneficial.

We have the B’hai temple here in Illinois… great place to practice mindfulness and recharge your batteries! I often go to the gardens on my way home from work.

Learning is my hobby… which is why I will never retire. The biggest challenge my retirement age friends have is finding something to do that gives them a sense of purpose… I’m lucky … this is not an issue in healthcare…
