The work-life balance can seem difficult to manage in healthcare, but as a caregiver we have to take care of ourselves to be able to effectively care for others. While we all know the physical benefits of exercise, I find that the mental health benefits are equally important. I enjoy running, pilates, and boxing while listening to music. Having a good social support system with family and friends is so important to keep me grounded. I also enjoy spending time with my cat who brings a lot of joy. I took up knitting early in the pandemic and have found it to be very relaxing and it's nice to be able to create something for yourself or others. I also enjoy escaping into the arts—museums, musicals, concerts, and movies. Lastly, making sure to take vacation time and have a colleague cover for you is very important to me—a change of scenery is crucial to helping you feel refreshed!
