Searching for Meaning and Purpose as a Healthcare Provider

What pleasure do you derive in your practice as a healthcare provider? Is your heart in your work? Are you feeling on purpose with your work? Are you caring for others with the best of your talents, feeling rewarded and fulfilled at the end of your day?

There comes a time when you may feel the strain and pull between helping others and saving yourself. You lose energy, heart, and interest…begin to feel depleted at the end of your day, and exhausted by the end of your week without a sense of recovery. There is a point in time when caring for your patients becomes counter-productive to your health and well-being, to your livelihood, and to the reason why you went into healthcare in the first place. The combined physical, mental, and emotional demand takes a cumulative toll that can lead to compassion fatigue, exhaustion, detachment, burnout, illness, and injury. This directly affects work performance, job satisfaction, morale, patient satisfaction, practitioner and patient safety, outcomes, and ROI. As a healthcare provider, you are entrusted to care and cure and DO NO HARM, to impact and support quality of life. What happens when your striving turns to pure struggle?

What matters to you? Have you reflected on your career, your life goals, your personal health and well-being? How do you restore your passion and energy when you are in a profession that constantly demands so much of you…your time, your energy, your skills, your heart, your presence?
