152. Heal and Recover with Kindness and Compassion
Our habitual thought patterns play a big role in physical and emotional healing and recovery.
In many of these episodes, we share our direct life experiences with the hope that being vulnerable and sharing will help you and those you care for live a healthier life of more ease.
In this episode, Jessie shares her own recovery and healing journey after her recent surgery.
She specifically shares many of the habitual and long-held thought errors that came up for her frequently and how she has learned to navigate them with more nimbleness and grace than she used to.
Some of the beliefs discussed include:
If you are in medicine you will likely recognize that many of these thought patterns were taught in our surgical rotations as medical students. The culture of medicine also glorifies getting back to work faster as a more noble and worthy achievement.

What if slow healing is complete healing?
What is the cost of rushing and urgency to heal?
What is the physical and emotional cost of some of the above-mentioned beliefs?
Mindful Tips for Optimizing Recovery and Healing
We all have to heal and recover at some point.
Treat yourself and others with kindness, patience, compassion, and mindful intention.
A world where healing is approached with the above tips would be much more "well."
If you want help with recovery and healing, physical or emotional, reach out for mindful coaching with Jessie and/or join her for a retreat.
Learning and practicing these skills before you need them is strategic, efficient, kind, and loving.
