Let’s talk about energy exchanges! Anyone else feel like their battery in general has been needed extra recharge time and it discharges much more quickly than it did before the pandemic? I forget all the things that create an energy exchange. For me, it’s been Anytime I respond to a text. Anytime I answer a phone call. Anytime I have a meeting. Going on social media. Even checking my email. I always thought an energy exchange involved leaving the house and interacting with someone outside of my family. At one point, that may have been my normal. Granted I’m an ambivert, however I feel that the pandemic has turned me more into an introvert. So my normal has now become being in the stillness of my room. Now that I’m more aware of what daily events create an energy exchange for me, I can be more mindful of how I choose to recharge myself so that I can start my next day at an optimal level. What are some actions that drain your energy that you normally don’t think would? #energy #selfcare #selflove #mentalhealth #mindfulness #recharge #relax #love #refresh #reset #wellness #socialbattery #premed #premedstudent #futuredoctor #premedmotivation #premedlife #nontradpremed #medschool #medical #doctor #medicine #medstudent #medlife
