Are we confusing resilience with self-abandonment?
I used to think pushing through was a badge of honor, it helped me survive medical school and residency. But what I didn't realize? That same drive can become self-neglect when we ignore our own needs for too long.
Resilience is about bouncing back, not just enduring without end. Recognizing the difference could change how you handle stress and burnout.
Are you listening to your body's signals, or just negotiating with them?
Sometimes, strength means knowing when to pause.
Worth thinking about.
