What time is it?

Its 7pm…

Whaat I need to be at home by now!!

How many times have we said this?

We got caught up in the whirlwind of long hours and challenging situations.

And its 7pm and we need to be home, both for our families and more importantly ourselves.

WE trudge home and recover the next day and do it all again.

Its a drudge.

What can you do to rekindle you passion for work?

However, have you ever considered it’s in the small, everyday moments that can uplift our spirits and rekindle our passion for what we do.

Simple things like:

Lean on Your Team: We have colleagues that are our greatest support system. Share your highs and lows, celebrate successes, and provide a helping hand when needed. The bonds you build can bring immense joy.

Practice Gratitude: Pause for a moment of reflection each day. Acknowledge the lives you’ve touched and the difference you’ve made. Gratitude can transform the most challenging days into rewarding ones.

Self-Care is Vital: Remember, you can’t pour from an empty cup. Prioritize self-care, whether it’s a short break to recharge, a walk in nature, or a few moments of deep breathing.

Celebrate Small Wins: Don’t wait for the big achievements to feel accomplished. Recognize and celebrate the small victories along the way. They are the building blocks of success and happiness.- even if its getting home at 7pm and not being at work at that time!

Mentorship and Learning: Share your knowledge and experience with others. Being a mentor can be incredibly fulfilling, and continuous learning keeps your mind engaged and excited.

Stay Curious: Approach each day with curiosity and an open mind. Embrace new challenges and innovations as opportunities to grow and expand your horizons.

Give Back: Participate in community or volunteer initiatives related to your profession. Helping others outside of work can bring a sense of fulfilment that spills over into your daily life.

Remember, true happiness isn’t just about the absence of stress; it’s about finding joy in the midst of it.

As medics, we have the privilege of making a positive impact on countless lives, and that’s something to be celebrated and not forgotten.
