After celebrating Mother's Day, we explore a concept everyone needs regardless of parental status: mothering yourself. Medical training conditions us to abandon our humanity bit by bit, wearing sacrifices like badges of honor while neglecting our own basic needs.
• The caregiver trap teaches us to neglect ourselves while caring for others
• Even the most brilliant physician cannot pour from an empty cup
• Self-care is not selfish but essential for sustainable practice
• Mothering yourself means saying no without apology when something doesn't align with your values
• Rest and restoration are forms of preservation in a system designed to ignore our limits
• When we properly care for ourselves, we reclaim our power and model humanity for others
• Challenge 1: Identify what you truly need this week to sustain yourself
• Challenge 2: Dare to dream again and reconnect with your authentic desires
• Start by asking what one thing would put a genuine smile on your face today
You are not just a physician. You are worthy of care as well.
Though I am a physician, this is not medical advice. This is only a tool that physicians can use to get ideas on how to deal with burnout and/or know they are not alone. If you are in need of medical assistance talk to your physician.
