A short conversational clip (YouTube Short) featuring Joy Kong, MD and an unidentified speaker discussing feelings of burnout, declining energy, and the importance of listening to one’s intuition to pursue work that brings joy. The speakers emphasize noticing energy levels in activities and the bravery and time required to change direction.
Feeling like the day to day, every day, doing the same thing over and over. I felt like I was getting tired. I started to feel, like, unhappy.
What is your energy level when you're doing something? Because that's actually how I landed in medicine, and then initially how I landed in psychiatry, and then later on in stem cells. Just being in the clinic and feeling what it's like to interact with patients and utilizing technology and with the science, you know, in my pocket. And the sense of energy, the exhilar, inspiration I.
Felt is listening to your intuition of what brings you joy and moving in that direction. And it takes time. It takes a certain amount of bravery. I mean, you really have to know yourself to be able to do that.
