003: Are You a Healthcare Practitioner who Struggles with Self-Care? You’re Not Alone!
July 31, 2020
As medical practitioners, we all give lots of advice. We all say we know how to fix things, and people come to us for answers to their toughest questions. However, with our busy schedules, it’s easy for us to fail to practice what we truly believe in – and we often don’t take care of ourselves like we should.
It’s so easy for us to give to others that we end up neglecting our own mental and physical well-being and fall into routines that don’t serve us, and this can make it harder for us to deliver the best possible patient outcomes. We need to set a good example by taking care of ourselves.
Today’s episode is all about getting “unstuck” when it comes to taking care of our own health, why you don’t need to go to the Cleveland Clinic to get a clear picture of how your mind and body are doing, and how to set a work/life balance that will set you up for success both in the office and at home.

As practitioners, we love helping people, and that's a good thing. But it can also be a bad thing because when we help others, we often put the emphasis on them and we forget about ourselves. – Dr. Ronda Nelson Share on XConnect with Ronda
