Abstract:
This manuscript explores the author's journey of balancing life and work through mindful reflection and intentional changes, prompted by the loss of a close friend and mentor. The author shares 6 key changes he made to align actions with his life priorities: completing clinical work at work, removing work email from his phone, avoiding work outside of work hours, disconnecting during vacations, seeking help when needed, and cultivating fulfilling hobbies. The manuscript emphasizes the importance of regular reflection on priorities and creating a balanced life that values personal well-being alongside professional responsibilities. By sharing personal experiences and practical strategies, the author suggests ways others can assess their priorities and make changes that foster fulfillment and balance.
