I hope you enjoyed the conference last week and feel inspired and energised by what you heard. I learned a lot, which has supported my leadership development as a GP working in an integrated care system.
Last month, I briefly raised the concept of biological weathering. The impact of many small insults borne silently in the act of fitting in. The longer-term consequences of these micro-aggressions are upon our physical and psychological well-being. There is a balance in life, and an ethos of choosing one’s battles for the sake of maintaining sanity, avoiding exhaustion and maximising impact. ‘Don’t sweat the small stuff’ they say.
