burnout is not due to the amount of work we do.  It is not due to working 12 hours or 24 hours in a row, but burnout is caused by the energy that fuels our work.  This is so true!   Part of the reason the doctor community is waking up jumping in is that before the pandemic, the burned-out doctor’s energy was fueled by just the need to pay the bills, and out of the hamster wheel, we just found ourselves on, vs now, during the pandemic, our energy being fueled by some communal calling to be a part of the global solution and some sense of purpose.  

I want to share some ideas of how we can “fill our tanks” before we jump into the marathon.  So I am not talking about healthy food, bubble baths, and exercise, which of course are important, but doing a little brain preparation is essential.

Going back to basics is always the best place to start.  wash our hands, stay hydrated, look out for each other and choose compassion over fear.
