There was a time when I hit a phase of depersonalization in my work. I found myself rushing through patient appointments, just trying to reach the end of the day. It was a stark contrast from the passion I once felt. The realization that I was experiencing burnout struck me when I consistently found myself sitting in my car, giving myself pep talks after listening to motivational podcasts and uplifting songs. I'd tell myself, "You can do this, just get through the door." That was the moment of reckoning when I knew that something had to change. It was a wake-up call to take action and find a better balance.
