But the whole reason I wrote this piece is because miscarriage is common, and it's just as much a part of the narrative of pregnancy and family growth-- even if it's not a happy ending.
This is dedicated to anyone who has experienced, directly or indirectly, any form of loss 📷

3/ Without letting go and resting, hard work alone is not the way to happiness or inner peace.

Reminding myself to find my place in mental Savasana more often 🪷

1/ Pearls from yoga class...
In between the poses in my Hatha yoga class that I went to this morning, we do Savasana
The teacher is really good about emphasizing the importance of rest as equally, if not more important, than the asanas themselves

[Mohini Dasari MD MS @modawrites]

2/ "You all are really good at doing hard things. That's why you're here" (we all laugh)

But can you be as good at letting you and resting, as you are at doing the poses?

Silence...
It's golden advice.

[Mohini Dasari MD MS @modawrites]

The result? I can feel the creativity, self-love and excitement for life coming back, after all the years I tried to fit a mold that didn't serve me

Almost two years ago I made a major career change It's take a long time to figure out who I am again, and I won't even pretend that I've gotten to the bottom of it But I'm rediscovering who I am and what I love outside of medicine

[Mohini Dasari MD MS @modawrites]

#Medicine attracts & retains perfectionists
So now I'm learning to free myself from expectations that do not serve me

My career doesn’t define me.
I can switch gears and be constantly changing, evolving, learning, experiencing 🍃
Growth is an infinite process
