Earlier this month, i started comparing myself with other people’s progress and it made me really insecure. I felt so down afterwards and it made me feel like my efforts were not enough.
This day, i finally decided to jot down all my feelings in a journal and reflect on things i needed to do in order for me to prevent being so harsh with my self.
I realized that comparing myself with other people is just so bad for my mental health and it’s not in any way helping with my progress as a med student and as a person. I know for myself that I cannot prevent myself from being jealous with other people’s lives (let’s be real here shall we) as it’s part of how we’re built as humans.
Sooo, in order for me to be at peace, i unfollowed and muted some of the people that’s making me feel so insecure. (Huhu im so sorry, im the problem here and not those people who I unfollowed)
I listed all my monthly achievements (since march) and failures then reflected on the things that i can improve on myself based on what I previously wrote.
I just wish this works and this makes me stop comparing myself for the next few months. I just can’t help being insecure sometimes:(((

Its the official start of the review season but my first day is on Saturday. Plotted the topics for week 1. Tomorrow I'll start answering the handouts. The goal is to start watching the online lectures on Thursday. Will attend classes this weekend too to test the waters on what lectures to attend to. I have to maximize my time now.
I also have to finish my video lectures from another review center to complete my completion phase of the review. The scheduled completion phase should be done last week but I got burnt out last month that's why I'm only starting to bounce back now. My new goal is to finish the completion phase before this year ends.
Since my review era has kicked off, I have to take care of myself more to avoid getting sick.
Some of my health goals starting December are:
eat vegetables everyday
restrict my sugar intake
drink more water (failing miserably on this these days)
16hr intermittent fasting
10k steps per day
try OMAD once a week
Win of the day
finally folded my clothes that I've laundered this weekend
16th day of June 2023
a not so productive day for me. I feel so down lately that my body doesn't cooperate on studying. planned to study tonight but just got the result from one of my exams and I failed it. as much as I want to grind more in order to bounce back, my thoughts are scattered and chaotic so I might just sleep the sadness away. hoping to have a better day tomorrow.
Productivity:
answered theoretical questions on FAR
read estate tax
organized my clothes
Self-care:
3k steps today
