Week 1: Self Love


What are your favorite qualities in yourself? Who are you around when you feel most free to be your authentic self? What activities bring you the most joy? How will you show yourself some love this week? 


*Food for thought: as medical students, we have always strived to care about those around us. Whether it is our family, friends, patients, or colleagues, being selfless can become a part of our identity. However, it is important to show the same love we show others to ourselves. This week's reflection is going to require some self-love and introspection on what you admire the most about the amazing being that you are and what environment allows you to be your best self.*


Thank you so much for sharing with us, and we look forward to seeing your journaling journey!😊 


Sincerely, 

COSGP Wellness Committee

A Little Introduction...

This blog specifically is a wellness initiative on behalf of COSGP's Wellness Committee for the month of January 2023--Happy New Year friends!  We wanted to create a safe space for medical school students to share their thoughts, worries, concerns, successes, hopes, and so forth.  We chose to do so via a blog with the goal of commiserating over shared experiences or empathizing with other students' unique experiences. How does this blog work? Each Monday for the month of January, there will be a new published post with a journal prompt, for which anyone can submit a response. There will be 5 posts in total. All the prompts will encourage reflection and introspection! We wanted to emphasize that this is a SAFE space, so if you choose to partake in the weekly journal entries, there will be an option to post anonymously 😊. We can only hope that this will act as some form of an outlet to you all.  Always remember that the medical school journey is an arduous journey and you ...

Week 4: You are Enough

Who do you compare yourself with? How does that make you feel? How are other people's opinions holding you back? What are steps you can take to stop comparing and start celebrating yourself instead? *Food for thought: medical school can be highly competitive and it can be easy to get lost in test score averages and class ranks. This post is meant to help you find ways to remember that you have so much to offer to the world and that a number does not define you.*  Thank you so much for being vulnerable with us. 💕

Week 3: Looking Forward

What is something you are looking forward to in 2023?  What is something you are worried about?  If you do find yourself struggling, who will you look to for support?  When you are thriving, who will you look to celebrate with? *Food for thought: hopes and concerns are often things that come into our mind with the arrival of a new year.  The goal of this post is to share those thoughts and consider the people you trust and would be able to share those experiences with--both positive and negative.  The strength of solidarity and support can be so powerful.* Thank you for your time & willingness to share your thoughts! 😊
