Doctor Psychobabble

So, I was going to make a super cool high-tech flow chart for this post, but then I realized after playing around with the software that I have not the time to do so right now. So, instead, let me give you a textual example of how I work through my residency stress:

I’m stressed. Have I?

Eaten lately? If no, then eat. If yes, then:

Have I drank water lately? If no, then drink water. If yes, then:

Have I gone to the bathroom lately? If no, then find an open bathroom. If yes, then:

Have I slept lately? If no, then think about sleeping at the next opportunity. If yes, then:

Have I exercised lately? If no, then do so at the next opportunity. If yes, then:

Has someone/something pissed me off?

If no, then I’m depressed. If yes, then go krump it out in the next available bathroom.

This surely what have been much more exciting and perhaps even entertaining in a flow chart, with arrows all over the place, but alas, I have not the energy to create it.

But I promise someday soon, I will!

I was feeling stressed just now and via my flow chart determined that I need to go for a run. But, ironically (because running actually gives me MORE energy in the long run), I’m too tired to do so right now. But I pray that I will find the time to do so in the near future!
