Most of us are so used to being hassled, harried, overwhelmed and bothered by the WHIRLWIND of the day-to-day practice of medicine -- that the ability to remain calm seems ridiculous or like a distant fantasy. That is exactly why I created "The Lake" Guided Meditation to help you find your way back. You can listen or download the audio below.

Left to its own devices, your career/practice will naturally dominate your larger life. The two prime directives we learn in our medical education: *The Patient Comes First* and* Never Show Weakness* virtually guarantee work will always come out on top.  Work Life Balance is a task only you can accomplish. You must force the issue. Make it happen. Fortunately the tools for this task are simple and the weekly life balancing process only takes a few minutes.
