You HAVE to enjoy life after you get off work or you gone feel like you slaving away. Like PLEASE go have drinks on a random Wednesday. YES do that beach picnic too. That’s right, go practice pottery on a Tuesday evening. That go to work, go home, go to work, go home shit is 0/10
It’s normal to initially feel out of place, and this is often exacerbated by having to adapt to a new routine, a different hospital, a new EPR system and everything else that comes with starting a new rotation.

Some tips to help overcome imposter syndrome :
🔹Challenge the internal narrative:
Replace “I don’t belong here” with “I’m here to learn how to do this.”
🔹Find your people: Good seniors, supervisors, mentors and peers can provide perspective when you’re doubting yourself.
🔹Give yourself time: Confidence often comes after repeated exposure, not before it.
🔹Remember how you got there: You met the requirements and earned your place. You don’t need to prove that you deserve to be there every single day.
🔹 Remember that being new is not the same as being incompetent.: You are not expected to know everything on day one.

Rooting for you ..You’ve got this ..👍🏽
"To embrace emergence in your career, you have to push past the traditional questions: 'How do I get where I want to go?' or 'What is my life’s work?' and focus instead on asking, 'What’s the right next step for someone with my principles, my energy, my values?'"
a regulated nervous system isn't quiet. it's responsive. it laughs loud in restaurants. it cries at commercials. it gets a full body chill from a song it hasn't heard in years. people mistake numbness for peace because numbness is easier to manage. but real peace has a pulse. it moves through you instead of around you.

“I wanted to find out then and quickly whether I was a louse like everybody else or a man. Whether I can step over barriers or not, whether I dare stoop to pick up or not, whether I am a trembling creature or whether I have the right”
