When feeling overwhelmed or overloaded, it is important to take a step back, reassess priorities, and not beat yourself up. Giving oneself the grace to slow down and take breaks is essential as our brains and minds need time to recover and cannot bounce back instantly without any cost. It is crucial to allow yourself to go slowly and provide yourself with grace and space for rest and recuperation.
Covid brought disruption and despair... but it also caused many of us to think about our lives and what is most important to us. Listener Dr Amy Comander, Director of Lifestyle Medicine at the Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center, wants to know how we can apply lessons from the pandemic to improve our happiness as we return to normalcy.
Amy helps teach cancer survivors wellbeing tips - and also happens to be an old college lab partner of Dr Laurie Santos - so we invited her to host this episode and quiz Laurie on how to lead a happier post-pandemic life.
