Optimal Self-care AND Professional Efficacy via MBSR

     How many of us feel that we worked hard, too hard, to get where we are? Don't we have to work too hard just to stay where we are, never mind advance in our careers? Meanwhile, we don't have much left to give enough of ourselves to our families, never mind our friends, and forget about taking personal time to adequately look after ourselves. Meanwhile, our secret dreams lie dormant, and are soon forgotten. Sounds like the perfect recipe for dysfunctional coping strategies like self-medicating, burnout, and all the other bitter ends to one's career & life! It's not at all what we signed-up for, is it?

     Could I combine an intelligent, gentle, evidence-based approach to re-connect with what's most meaningful & authentic in myself - to optimize my own health & quality of life and optimize the quality of my profession contributions? 
     Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR) can help us accomplish both of these objectives. The proof is experiential - experience it for yourself. There are lots of scientific papers on the subject as well - just search under MBSR.
