Reset, Recharge

{Miami Beach, Florida}

I talk A LOT about mental health (in case you haven’t noticed), so I’ve appreciated the opportunity to put psychiatry-related thoughts aside for the last week while on vacation. And I haven’t psychoanalyzed one thing while in Florida, which is a record for me! I recognize how burned out I was getting, especially since I slept a whole lot during my first few days of vacation. In the past, I probably would’ve felt guilty about saying I was tired of talking about mental health, but sometimes taking a break from your interests and passions makes you appreciate them even more. I intend on using my final days of vacation to soak up more sun, take a boat ride along the bay, shop, enjoy delicious Cuban dishes, and anticipate feeling fully recharged by the time I return to work next week. Hope you have a relaxing weekend!

Much Needed

I’m constantly testing my limits as to how long I can continue working before I become extremely stressed-out and less pleasant to be around, which usually indicates I’m overdue for a vacation. When I scheduled my vacation months ago, I had a feeling I’d be overexerting myself having too large of a time gap in between breaks. Well, I definitely learned my lesson this time around (yet again). Part of self-awareness and good self-care is recognizing when you’re in need of a break. Therefore, for the next ten days, I’ll be catching up with some much needed sleep, laying out on the beach, and doing nothing work-related. Next week I plan to head to Miami, which is the city I fondly remember as providing the most fun during my medical school elective rotations. Actually, I do have one task: learning how to use Snapchat and hopefully posting snaps during my vacation (if you’re on Snapchat, add me @freudandfashion and follow me on my journey towards wellness, balance, and self-care!).

Have a wonderful weekend!
