I took a break from writing last week. After posting the article on the grief of change, I had a major vulnerability hangover. I was washed over by self-doubt, worry, and a touch of panic. All I wanted to do was hiding under the bed and away from the world. But my monkey mind would not leave me alone:
Great blog post Bonnie. As healthcare professionals we all need to acknowledge our humanity and the emotional impact of the situations we encounter everyday. Resilience is not a hardened heart but rather the ability to acknowledge and process how we feel and to consequently provide compassionate care by focusing on the needs of those we care for. Acknowledging how we feel is the start of processing the impact a situation has on us and allows us to respond appropriately to others.
Just be honest with yourself and do whatever you believe in. No one knows what may hold in the future, but a true faith will always prevail.
Keep going Bonnie.
