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. 💛
