Are you tired of hearing "be patient" your whole life? It's a common piece of advice we receive from childhood to adulthood. But have you ever stopped to think if you're really being patient or just wasting your time waiting for an opportunity that may never come? It's important to evaluate whether our patience is leading us towards progress or hindering us from taking action. So, what are your thoughts? Let's discuss in the comments. #patience #opportunities #time

An unexpected hospital stay threw all my plans into chaos. Chaos is OK. Life is chaos. Healthy living means learning how to navigate, enjoy and thrive in the unexpected. Incarceration in a hospital (which is how it felt) sure was unexpected. One of the good things that came out of the experience was a reminder of the power of Self With Others as a way of seeing and navigating the world. From being able to identify the source of my discomfort, through choosing where most efficiently to direct attention, becoming present with the wonder of what's happening (even if it's not exactly pleasant), to accessing resources of deep inner calm amid the stress and overwhelm of a medical 'situation'. Self-With-Others helped me with all of these things. I didn't choose to go to hospital. I did choose how I would find my way through, and learn from, the experience. I am immensely grateful for that. For the last few months I've been running a test of an email sequence to guide people deep into an understanding of Self-With-Others. It's getting great responses from the group of 20 people round the world. Eventually I'll offer that sequence more widely. However my recent hospital experience convinced me that I want to offer a shorter, more accessible and - above all - free introduction to Self-With-Others. It helps me a lot. Every day. I'd like it to do the same for you. So that's what I've done. I've put together a free, 15-email sequence, to give you an overview of what Self-With-Others is, how it works and why it might just change your life. I'd love you to sign up and find out more. It asks nothing of you and if it doesn't suit you, you can always unsubscribe.

The impact of friendship and community cannot be overstated. Community is fundamental. It is the key to negotiating perilous times through support and shared experiences. With a strong community, anything is possible. When doubts arise, as they inevitably do, a community can provide an invaluable sounding board of encouragement and reality checks. And when our own internal beliefs aren’t up to the task, we can borrow the beliefs we have in each other to keep us moving forward. And let’s be honest, having a group of people you can relate to and who get what you’re going through is just nice. Physicians are entrenched in community throughout our training, but the camaraderie all but disappears as we reach attendinghood. Community may just be one of the most significant missing pieces for physicians in modern-day medicine that drives physician burnout, overwhelm, and overall discontent. Who is your community? Does something prevent you from finding or creating the community you need? How might having a community change your life and career?

Confession #60: Hi, I’m a hijra (eunuch) and I’m 26 years old. Until I was 12, everything was normal. My parents loved me, and my family treated me just like any other kid because my parents kept the truth hidden from everyone. But then, one day, the news spread like wildfire. The entire neighborhood found out, and soon many hijra communities started approaching my parents, wanting to take me with them. Coming from a very orthodox family, my parents didn’t know how to protect me. After about 5-6 months of back and forth, they reluctantly agreed to hand me over, believing it would offer me a better future. I didn’t understand what was happening to me. Suddenly, I felt very different. When I finally went with the community, I was taught their culture, rules, and regulations. Later, I found myself in multiple relationships and went through many difficult experiences that are hard to describe. Those initial years completely changed my life. I tried to continue my studies and participated in the activities of my community, which I am still doing. I want to ask the people of this country: why aren’t we treated like other genders? Why can’t we get admission to colleges, find jobs, or start our own businesses like anyone else? What did I do wrong, just because I was born different? Do I have to face this for my entire life? I also want to live with my family and lead a happy life.

#Question Health Care Friends & Connections: What have you found is the most effective way to get to know the people you are working with/caring for that can be easily shared with other care partners? For example, how do you learn their social history, likes, dislikes, interests, strengths, routines, etc.? Do you know of, or, use any systems that have proven to be helpful in enhancing person-centred care and relaying important personhood details? We know that listening and asking questions is essential...but how does the information we learn get passed along when it matters? #personhood #personcenteredcare

🌟 Calling all physician-moms! 🌟 Have you ever felt like you're constantly walking a tightrope between your professional duties and your family responsibilities? I've been there too. Often. Struggling to navigate the intense emotions of caring deeply for patients nearing the end of their lives, while also trying to reserve enough emotional energy to be present for my kids and spouse at home—it's a challenge many of us face. The truth is, behind the facade of composure, many of us are battling with crippling anxiety. I've found myself in the ICU, grappling with the weight of expectations from both work and family, often feeling like I'm falling short on all fronts. The relentless cycle of sacrificing sleep and personal time to keep up with the demands of our roles can leave us feeling drained, guilty, and resentful. But here's the thing—we're not alone in this struggle. I invite you to share your own experiences and challenges below. Let's create a supportive community where we can lean on each other, share our stories, and remind ourselves that we're not alone in this journey. Together, we can navigate the complexities of being high-functioning physician-moms and find solace in knowing that we're stronger together. 💪 #HighFunctioningAnxiety #PhysicianMom #SupportSystem
