Protect your mental energy 🤍

Who else values their self-worth based on how you’re currently living up to an identity that you previously placed on yourself? 🙋🏽‍♀️⁣
⁣
Hear me out.⁣
⁣
I have called myself many things throughout my life: a yogi, a health nut, a weight lifter, a doctor, a straight A student… the list goes on.. most of those I still identify with, some not. ⁣
⁣
I definitely did not get straight As in med school, my food choices haven’t been the best since I started residency, and I haven’t been practicing yoga or weight lifting as much as I did before COVID… this list goes on.⁣
⁣
So what now? I can’t call myself those things anymore? ⁣
⁣
Joshua and I talk a lot about these types of things, and he always gives me such a healthy perspective on life.⁣
⁣
I tend to get discouraged when I realize I can’t do a yoga pose as well as I once could, or can’t lift as much weight as I used to be able to.⁣
⁣
But as humans, we are multi-faceted. We can be many things. And as we go through different phases of life, certain things may take priority. But that doesn’t mean we aren’t “living up” to our self-proclaimed identities.⁣
⁣
What are your thoughts?⁣
⁣
P.S. @everyoneproducts makes my yoga space smell like a spa 🧖🏼‍♀️ + their packaging is all made from post-consumer recycled material⁣

Checking my watch to see if I did enough stairs at the hospital to skip cardio today 🫀

Jk, I actually love the stair master. Lol stairs at work and more at the gym 🤷🏽‍♀️ I get so much done on the stair master - studying, emails, etc 😂 if you watch my stories you know

Anyone else love to close all their rings on their 🍎 watch?! So satisfying

I chose to get the vaccine to protect my patients, my family, and my friends. I chose to get the vaccine to be one step closer to ending this pandemic. ⁣
⁣
I had a ton of questions when the vaccine first came out, too. And it’s good if you have questions.⁣
⁣
“What side effects might I experience with the vaccine?”⁣
Most people experience mild symptoms such as pain at the injection site, fatigue, muscle aches, chills, fever, or headache. These symptoms are expected and nothing to be afraid of. They usually last one to two days and mean that your body is working hard to build protection against the virus.⁣
⁣
“How can we trust the COVID vaccine when it was developed so fast?”⁣
Yes, we were able to make this vaccine quickly - but this does NOT mean it was rushed. The mRNA technology used in these vaccines was discovered 30 years ago! Safety checks were NOT cut out of the development process. You know what was cut out? Bureaucratic red tape. ⁣
⁣
“What about the new variants?”⁣
While vaccine efficacy against emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants remains under investigation, early reports suggest that the COVID-19 vaccines currently offered in the U.S. will be effective against emerging variants.⁣
⁣
“Why is vaccination a community effort?”⁣
Herd immunity means that enough people in a community are protected from getting a disease because they’ve already had the disease or because they’ve been vaccinated. Herd immunity makes it hard for the disease to spread from person to person. It even protects those who cannot be vaccinated, like newborns or people who are allergic to the vaccine.⁣

Late photo dump bc I realized I never posted photo

Late photo dump bc I realized I never posted photos from our mini engagement party (just us + my immediate fam) 💕 the night after Joshua proposed, we went over to my parent’s house and they had this adorable set up, including all sorts of dairy-free & gluten-free baked goodies for me 🍰💍🥂my sis made these cookies 😍 & my mom made the cake, sign, and wifey shirt (yes, I know I’m not a wifey yet but I had to wear the shirt ok 😆).

I can’t wait to marry this man. September can’t come fast enough!

Today’s ~ v i b e s ~

Yes, slippers and jeans bc I have a few virtual meetings and wanted to get ready for the day 😆 + Joshua and I have a date planned later 💕 I’m on vacation this week, spending half of it with Joshua and half of it with my family - will be going to see them tomorrow!

It’s hard for Joshua and I to coordinate our vacations with residency, but we have a week off together later this year & are thinking about a road trip! Any suggestions? 🚗🏔
