As a Dentist, at one point or another, you’ve probably faced the challenge of how to make sure you leave work at work and not bring work stress home with you.   

In this episode we talk about: 

- The importance of the transition from holidays to work and how it could contribute to your success 

- The power of setting intentions 

- How to successfully manage the mental work-home transition  

- Effective ways of switching off after work   

Keep in mind: physical presence doesn’t always equate to mental presence. You could be sitting at your work chair but more preoccupied about a home situation than the patient at your care, or you could be at the kitchen table thinking more about the treatment that didn't go according to plan than the people eating dinner with you. That’s why transitions from work mode to personal mode are so essential.   

Our Tip: Get conscious about it and establish a healthy work-home transition activity or routine that works for you and serves you better over the long term. Because due to the mental demandings of Dentistry it's very common for Dentists to choose an unhealthy way to completely absorb mental energy to transition away from work stress like overdrinking, overeating, overspending, over-scrolling social media or binge watching netflix.
