140: Prioritizing Your Own Wellness, the Prescription You Need

“What if I treated myself as well as I treat those who I love the most in the world? How would that shift my decisions and priorities?” -Master Certified Coach Jill Farmer

 

In today’s episode, DocWorking Founder and CEO, Dr. Jen Barna and Master Certified Coach Jill Farmer got together to answer a question that is on a lot of physicians’ minds, “How do I carve out the time from an overbooked schedule to practice self-care without feeling like I’m being selfish?” This question is so relevant because so many physicians are so focused on caring for others that they often feel that they can’t fit in the time to take care of themselves, or they don’t allow time for it in their busy schedules because they don’t prioritize it as being as important as everything else. At DocWorking, our specialty is Coaching Physicians to achieve the best in life and medicine. That includes creating a balance between the caring for others that you do so selflessly, and incorporating time for your own wellbeing and growth. We believe that you can have it all. Our goal at DocWorking is to help you to identify specifically what that means to you, and to help you achieve it. Tune in to this episode to hear ideas from Lead Coach Jill Farmer on achieving the right work-life integration, and how prioritizing your own wellness should be at the top of your list.

Doctors devote their lives to caring for others. But does that mean they must sacrifice their own health and wellbeing? Absolutely not!

 

At DocWorking, we have developed a unique way to embrace it all.

 

The caring for others that you do so selflessly AND the caring for YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY that you crave in order to bring it all into the perfect balance specific to YOU.

 

What if we told you that you CAN have it all? The career you dreamed of when you decided to become a doctor AND the life outside of medicine that you desire?

 

DocWorking empowers physicians to get back on the path to achieving their dreams.

Take Back Your Time: Get a Virtual Assistant

Working in the medical field is fulfilling but it can also be exhausting. Physicians often sacrifice their personal time to carry out their duties. They want to go on vacations, start passion projects, or start side businesses but finding the time seems impossible. Recently, more and more physicians are giving outsourcing a try. Outsourcing allows you to delegate tasks to virtual assistants so you can free up your time and finally do whatever it is you’ve been wanting to do.
