Many are not feeling ok right now.

So much pain and hardship in the practice of medicine right now.

Sending love and compassion to each and every one of my colleagues in medicine.

A long-time client shared a mantra she has been practicing -- “may I find my path.”

What a kind way to explore your next steps.

Realizing that there is no urgency.

Allowing and giving yourself permission to explore

That is the first step.

It's helpful to have a coach who has experienced your training, and who has insight into the medical culture. It doesn't solve all your problems, but it will help you to see yourself as more capable and leave behind perspectives that limit your perception of your self-worth and your capacity to improve.”

Life is not perfect by any means - that is not how it is supposed to be.

I like to call it “mostly good.”

“Mostly good” allows my brain to relax and enjoy the ride.

Getting help was never an easy thing for me. And I expect for many of you.

My mind likes to tell me I “should” be able to do it myself. That self-sufficiency is a measure of strength and adequacy.

With deep breaths and mindfulness. With presence. With curiosity. With self-compassion. With loving-kindness and compassion towards others. Noticing the transitions.

This was the theme of my yoga class tonight. It is turning into spring in California and my yoga class is held around sunset. I myself am also going through a big life transition.
