Healthcare professionals aren’t very good at caring for their own bodies.
We often skip meals or eat quickly at our desks to get ahead on our to-do list, we operate on caffeine but don’t actually hydrate ourselves, we lack sleep and we don’t listen to our bladders when it’s shouting for relief.
(There’s a running gag that healthcare workers don’t pee… and there’s some unfortunate truth behind it.)
The problem with ignoring our bodies’ needs for a prolonged period of time is that we risk running ourselves into the ground or developing serious illnesses.
That’s why in this episode, I share with you 4 ways you can reconnect with your bodies in order to prevent accumulated stress and burnout, reduce your risk of illness, and develop your ability to make better decisions by tuning into your body’s signals.
Because developing a supportive relationship with your body is key to thriving in the demanding field of healthcare.
