It's hard to believe that another year is coming to a close. Before stepping fully into the new year, it's helpful to pause to take a look back over the current year and look ahead to the coming year. So this year, I'm starting a new ritual: taking the last 2 days of this year and the first 2 days of next year to perform a "soft reset" - a kind of master reboot to restore life balance, recharge my energy, and realign with what matters most. Starting this morning, I am prioritizing my own self-care - listening to my body for what it needs - nourishing my mind - body - and spirit. Here is the process I've created for my new end of year ritual:
So this is my plan and yet I'm allowing for lots of flexibility, knowing that things don't always go according to plan. Be gentle with yourself and honor where you are, wherever that happens to be in the moment. What I'm hoping to gain from this process is a greater recognition and acknowledgement of my personal growth, the discovery of key insights that will serve me in now and in the future, and using the wisdom gleaned from this process to inform my actions in the coming year. How about you? Do you have a ritual that you use to close out or start a new year? I'd love to hear about. Please share in the comments below.

Life Beyond Clinical Practice with Dr. Michelle Bailey
|
|
Hi, I'm Dr. Michelle Bailey.
I help physicians who are unhappy or unsatisfied with their current career find a nonclinical career that they love. Retiring early from clinical practice after almost 20 years as a board-certified pediatrician I successfully made the leap and transitioned to a nonclinical career. I'm thriving in my new career and am on a mission to help other physicians do the same with the support, guidance, and community that I wish I had when I was struggling with this decision. You're invited to connect with me in my private Facebook community for physicians to learn about all things related to your nonclinical career transition. Join here. |
