How can I, as a med student, honor my passions and still give myself permission to rest without guilt? Any advice or strategies would mean so much — I really want to find a balance that works. 💛
I’m a med student, and I’ve made up my mind that any spare time I have, I want to put effort into my other passions — filmmaking, writing, acting, and ambassadorship. But saying it out loud now makes me wonder… will I even have space to just relax? I know my free time will be so limited, and I worry that if I take a moment to rest, I’ll feel guilty for not being productive. These passions are such a big part of who I am, and I want to honor them even while I focus on becoming a doctor, but I also want to be able to rest without constantly worrying that I’m wasting time, running out of time, or not using my time wisely. I’d be so grateful for any advice or tips on how to honor my passions while also giving myself permission to rest and recharge without guilt. Your guidance would mean so much to me and really help me find a balance that works. 💛

Sometimes I wonder how to balance these passions with my main focus on medicine — and how to begin each journey without feeling overwhelmed.

For people who studied or are studying medicine, what where the factors you considered when making the decision and what was it like the years of university, how did you balance your life?
Hi I'm a senior in highschool and I've recently felt a call for medicine but I have been feeling really doubtful about choosing it as a career. Time is ticking for applications now and I can't figure out if it's the right decision for me. I don't know if it's going to fit the lifestyle I want. In the future I want to be a mom and dedicate a lot of time to that, also I don't want to spend all of my time studying, I'm willing to study hard, but there has to be a time for a personal life. I don't know what information to trust regarding studying medicine, is it really that hard and does everybody regret it.
