“Empathy has no script...it’s simply listening, holding space, withholding judgement, emotionally connecting, and communicating that incredibly healing message of ‘You’re not alone’”🙏🏼 @BreneBrown #scpmgselfcare @DrNzinga @mymomthesurgeon @scpmgmdwellness

[Dawn Clark, MD @SCPMGWellness]

This week #SCPMGSelfCare will focus on #empathy. "You're imperfect, and you're wired for struggle, but you are worthy of love and belonging." @BreneBrown

Beautiful article on emotions we should embrace when doctoring, nice work @elewMD !! Quick read take a look! #compassion

[edward lew @elewMD]

Humbled/honored for this. When you write, it's difficult to know if people agree with its value/importance. Knowing the amazing other folks/pieces... this means incredibly to me.
Here's that story. Do you have one similar?

Proud of my colleague @adamlsharp for his vulnerable observations of some of our systemic healthcare inequities🙏🏼

[ABIM Foundation @ABIMFoundation]

Before #ABIMF2020 @AdamLSharp shared stories of the heroism and compassion in the health care community, as well as the inequities he witnessed personally and professionally in #EmergencyMedicine as a result of #COVID19. #BuildingTrust

@cna006 @BarbaraCarnesMD That was my favorite part of the entire day! Felt so good to just get up and dance 💃

True compassion would mean we could respect different political opinions without judgment. Especially challenging at times like this...but plenty of opportunities to practice 😂#agreetodisagree #scpmgselfcare @DrNzinga @mymomthesurgeon

Some days I’m plant based, most days I’m pescatarian, and some days I need a need a bean& cheese burrito from a random taco truck that may or may not use lard. #ignoranceisbliss what are your exceptions ? @mymomthesurgeon @danigoodrich @DrNzinga

[Dawn Clark, MD @SCPMGWellness]

.#Wholefood / #plantbased eating is shown to support healthy living & one size does not fit all. @HarvardHealth shares a spectrum of types from #veganism to #flexitarian. Retweet & share which ways you've tried. #SCPMGSelfCare #FoodisMedicine https://t.co/zVvkI8jMUB

[Negean Afifi @LAMCWellness]

@mymomthesurgeon lol they have been making us wear those but never thought they would make it to the OR!!

The least controversial food advice out there: eat more FIBER. Less that 10% of Americans get adequate amount despite the numerous health benefits (less heart disease, lower cholesterol, less obesity and more )

[Dawn Clark, MD @SCPMGWellness]

Studies have shown that a good laugh is like a mini workout! It releases feel good endorphins, burns calories, and boosts your immune system. Plus, it is a lot of fun! https://t.co/CbYsFVZyNE @Gaiam #LaughterisMedicine #SCPMGSelfCare

[Negean Afifi @LAMCWellness]

A hearty guttural laugh (preferably by the joke teller) always gets me....no matter how lame the joke may be #dadjokes

[Dawn Clark, MD @SCPMGWellness]

Welcome to week 3! Our focus is L for Love & Laughter. Both are medicine and can help you live a more fulfilled and healthy life. How do you think love & laughter fit into your #selfcare routine? #SCPMGSelfCare
