Physician Life Balance Training - The Boundary Ritual

Tool #2

The Boundary Ritual

Have you ever experienced this uncomfortable situation?

You are sitting at home ... thinking about work?

We both know that experience is so common it is silly to ask the question in the first place. However, it is a sign that you missed a boundary; the boundary between work and home.

If you are thinking about work when you are not at work, you are just continuing to leak energy in a different location.

You can't begin to recharge until you come all the way home.

The OFF SWITCH you are looking for is the Boundary Ritual.

YOUR ASSIGNMENT?

PRACTICE - PRACTICE - PRACTICE

You now understand the Boundary Ritual and understanding - comprehension - knowledge will get you nowhere.

You must APPLY what you know. You must take a New Action to get the BALANCE you seek.

Choose a Boundary Ritual for yourself now.
It does not matter what you choose as your ritual, as long as you tell yourself, "With this action I am coming ALL THE WAY HOME."
Do your Boundary Ritual between work and home every day this week.
Notice what difference it makes.
Tweak and switch out your ritual as needed.
Get in the HABIT of making this deliberate separation between work and home.
