Have you been planning some big excursion for the last several years, only to be thwarted by work or family obligations? Was there something you wanted to do in medical school but never got around to it? Do those thoughts ever negatively affect YOU?
It is not uncommon as a physician to feel like we missed out on a part of life. In our 20's we are busy in medical school and residency while our college friends are out "finding themselves." We are behind on saving for retirement. We don't get to take the trips we wanted to. Then suddenly we find ourselves in our early 30's, career beginning, and possibly the start of a family. Although some freedoms may have been gained, new obligations have taken over. All of those desires and wants from 5 years ago still suddenly seem unobtainable, and in some instances can have a negative effect on our outlook about work and family.
Today I discuss my feelings about this and what I do to try to improve this.
I am happy to announce that I will be speaking at the White Coat Investor Physician Wellness and Financial Literacy conference this coming February 9-12, 2022.
