@doctorphabs: The hardest mental work after 14-16 hour shifts is figuring out how not to be a couch potato on your day off when all you want to do is lay down and binge watch latest anime (IYKYK). Some days you win that fight. Other days, the couch wins. That’s fine too. You’re just human. What matters over the long haul is that you keep showing up not only for work and patients but also for yourself, for the life that exists outside of the grind. Stretch, rest, hydrate (shoutout to @Waterboy) and move as much as you can. People ask me how I avoid total burnout. This is how. Over the years, I’ve learned that restoring your spirit and recovering your body are also part of discipline. #waterboypartner
