Shownotes

Healthcare professionals and people in demanding careers often accept stress as a way of life. However, unchecked stress will someday lead to burnout and create more problems for everyone involved.

Our bold solution to this relentless problem is to start becoming obsessed with relaxation! We all know we need to calm down and relax, but how many of us actually do it? 

John C. Parkin joins us today and encourages us to say 'f**k it' more in our lives! Not everything is important, and sometimes we try too hard to live up to society's excessive expectations. John shares how overcoming stress and setting boundaries often results in overthinking and feelings of guilt.

Let’s learn to finally prioritise relaxation in our lives and see how much better we become through it.

Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode:

  1. Discover the power of saying ‘f**k it’.
  2. Learn how to say ‘f**k it’ — even in situations that matter.
  3. Understand the importance of relaxation and why it should be a daily priority.
