As a medical professional, I often counsel my patients on the importance of overall wellness and mental health. As we recognize National Wellness Month this August, I would like to share my personal strategies for maintaining balance and well-being. First off: Get enough sleep! The rigors of being a surgeon often come with long hours, but I make it a point to get sufficient rest. Research consistently shows that adequate sleep is vital for cognitive function and overall health.
Nutrition also plays a significant role in my wellness plan. I adhere to a balanced diet, focusing on whole foods rich in vitamins and nutrients. I avoid excessive sugar and processed foods, knowing that a proper diet fuels both body and mind. Exercise is non-negotiable in my routine. Whether it’s a morning run or a brief yoga session in between patients, physical activity helps me relieve stress and keeps me energized.
I also make room for mental health practices. Mindfulness techniques, such as meditation and deep breathing, can provide a necessary pause in the chaos, allowing me to center myself and approach my work with clarity and focus. Finally, take time to cherish and nurture your relationships outside of work. Spending quality time with family and friends is not only personally fulfilling but also provides a support system that carries me through the most demanding times.
