HOW TO LIVE A BALANCED LIFE IN MEDICAL SCHOOL/UNIVERSITY

I wish someone had emphasized the importance of living a balanced life in medical school to me before I had gotten started…well, to be fair, people did… but I never understood what it meant. Having gone through three years so far of studying medicine in a foreign country, I have learned the importance of maintaining certain aspects of my personal and work life. Here are five of the things I’ve learned along the way and that have helped me tremendously;

1. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.

I had to make this number one because it profits you nothing to work yourself to the bone and wear yourself down trying to be the top student in class while your health and well-being are in a terrible state. Make a special effort to feed yourself properly, exercise and get regular and sufficient sleep or rest. Plan your day in such a way that you will have enough time to have breakfast and at least a wholesome homemade lunch or dinner. Take vitamin supplements if your meals tend to lack in certain nutrients, drink plenty of water, and reduced the amount of processed snack foods you consume. Try to schedule in at least 3 days of physical activity, whether it is an organized sport, walking, or going to the gym. Physical exercise boosts your mood and has been proven to increase concentration and focus. Be sure to get enough rest. No use pulling an all-nighter for that exam in the morning, you will probably be too drained and not be thinking as clearly as you would have on a good night’s rest. Allow yourself sufficient time before exams to study without the added stress of feeling crunched for time. That way you cover all the material comfortably with enough time to go over past papers and clarify any doubts you might have.

2. WORK HARD ALL THE HOURS YOU WORK

A lot of us tend to go too easy on ourselves when it comes to focussing and committing to the job at hand. Our 10 minute break stretches into half a season of The Big Bang Theory, and just like that, we’ve lost precious study hours. Commit to working hard through the time you designate to studying. Don’t let up. If you typically study for 3 hours a day, try to get as much done in those 3 hours as possible knowing that you will have all the time after that to do whatever you like. Plan out beforehand what topics you would want to have covered at the end of that time and stick to the course. You’ll thank yourself later on.

3. HAVE FUN

It is equally important to have fun and enjoy life as it is to study and work hard. It’s okay to go out with friends on the weekend or go to the movies or just lounge around and enjoy the day. It’s necessary. You should take time out to treat yourself.The trick is finding a nice equilibrium where one aspect doesn’t negatively affect the other. When you can enjoy a healthy social life without it affecting the quality and quantity of work you get done or how well you normally do, you’ve got it. Don’t do things like getting drunk at 2 a.m. when you know you have an 8 a.m. lecture or that you had planned to get some work donethe following morning. Those decisions interfere with your work life, no matter how much you convince yourself that you could totally handle that 5th tequila shot.

4. HAVE HOBBIES/INTERESTS

Indulging in hobbies and other activities outside of your field of study can help to transform you into a well-rounded individual and possibly give you an edge when you enter the world of work. If you have interests in certain sports, languages, student organizations or even other fields, take the time out to pursue them in your spare time. Apart from giving you more depth as an individual, they can provide an effective means of “switching the channel” from whatever it is that you study or work on all day, to something equally interesting and challenging, yet leisurely. The change of pace also keeps your mind fresh and wards of fatigue and boredom. An added bonus of partaking in a hobby is that it opens you up to the possibility of meeting other people with similar interests, and provides an organic environment for friendships to grow.

5. CALL A FRIEND

Being on your own away from home for the first time can be extremely daunting. It’s easy sometimes to fall into a sort of gloominess for weeks on end as a result of loneliness or homesickness. In times like these, it’s important to have a good friend or trusted family member that you can call or email, to share how you’re feeling and hopefully in turn, get some uplifting advice. Being stuck in a rut of feeling all alone can easily fog your mind when it comes to the endless possibilities of fun and memorable experiences awaiting you. If you don’t have a trusted friend to call, try recording yourself expressing exactly what it is you’re feeling. Get absolutely everything out in the recording, and then delete it. This should give you the same relief as talking to a friend and the feeling of having gotten everything off your chest.
