You don’t have to be 💯 ready for a new challenge or role.

In fact, if you’ve already mastered everything you need for that opportunity, you’d be ready to move on the the NEXT one after that.

Stop holding yourself back.

#In2019ILearned to stop taking other people’s behavior and words personally.

Instead, I try to default to compassion. Generally, people are wonderful and we’re all doing our best. People who try to hurt others are usually hurting inside themselves.

#In2019ILearned to be more brave and open about my nontraditional career moves.

I was afraid of being misunderstood and judged. Now, I know that many other docs also want a different kind of career, and my choices are nothing to be ashamed of, 🙏 to #medtwitter support.

#In2019ILearned to meditate! I’ve never been one to ‘quiet my mind’ and am forever grateful to @jillwenerMD for teaching me a life-changing method.

#In2019ILearned to actually NOT work on vacation (or nights, weekends)

I’m able to prioritize myself and my family for REAL.

I used to apologize for ‘my delayed response’ on Monday, but I’ve learned to stop that, too.
