This week is my first FULL week of residency which means I’ll be in the clinic for 50+ hours this week not to mention the at-home prep work! I feel like I’m back in year one of med school running off of straight adrenaline!😬

I’m so thankful that my best friends from back home got me a gift card to try 😍They deliver everything you need right to your door, the recipes are quick & easy to follow, plus it’s friggin’ DELICIOUS!

✨SWIPE to see the dinners we made the past two nights. I think we’re hooked! 😆

Cheers to yummy food & thoughtful friends!🥰

In honor of new beginnings & I dug up the selfie I took on my very first day of medical school FOUR YEARS AGO! SWIPE ✨So crazy how time flies!

Stress - YOU have it, I have it, WE all have it. In these modern times, it is damn near impossible to find even ONE person that doesn’t experience at least some level stress in their daily life.

🤷🏽‍♀️So, what can we do about it?

❤️Exploring this piece of foundational health entails asking the question “Who or what is filling up your cup when it is empty?” Maybe it’s a favorite hobby, a self-care routine, a pet, a person, or even a network of people.

In fact, when we feel stress, our bodies naturally crave support from other living creatures! Crazy evolution hack if you ask me!🤯

🧠 Oxytocin is a neuropeptide deemed the “love hormone” that gives us a feeling of connection & belonging and is actually released in great amounts during childbirth!🤱🏾This same hormone is released during the stress response and may be our body’s way of telling us we need some TLC from those around us.

🙇🏻‍♀️But HOW we perceive our stress can also make a difference in our overall health!

💡Researchers have found that those who perceived their stress as harmful were MORE likely to suffer the negative effect & complications of stress compared to those who did NOT view their stress as harmful. This means that reframing your thoughts about stress can change your body’s response to it!

A great teacher of mine once shared a video that sums this up perfectly. Go to Youtube and search “Rabbi Lobster Stress” (yes, you read that right 🦞😋). It’s a ~1 minute video that offers a helpful perspective for the next time you feel uncomfortable or “stressed out”.

🌿Here are some other natural options for helping to manage stress that I will be sharing more about in future posts:
✨Slow, intentional, deep breathing techniques.
✨Adaptogenic herbs aka herbs that strengthen your response to stress & help you build resilience!
✨Physical medicine tools like massage therapy & hydrotherapy (water as therapy!)

Speaking of stress relief, it’s a 3 day weekend baby! How are you refueling this labor day weekend? Let me know in the comments below 👇🏽❤️

It’s back to work for this girl!👩🏽‍⚕️✨

Today I’ll be getting a jump start to my residency and receiving hands-on training over the next month before I officially start in the fall.🍁

Couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunity to work ESPECIALLY during this time, but I must admit the back-to-work jitters are in FULL effect!😬

I’ve been telling myself that the nerves are just EXCITEMENT rather than ANXIETY and getting pumped to start the work that I’ve dreamt of doing for too long.

Well, HERE I GO! Wish me luck!💫🤞🏽..
