I have struggled very much to accommodate in Medical school. I have way too much energy, way too many interests and I love life way too much to be an ideal Medical student who has the patience, time and interest to study Medicine. I figured out that this was not going to work, so what to do ? Well, obviously I can't change my personality, but if I can change anything, then that is my lifestyle.
This is how I decided to make the following lifestyle changes :
With this routine, I don't know how to explain it the best, but it's like I put myself under constant stimulation, so that my body and mind is active all the time, ready to do anything, even study boring Medical material.
Did anyone experience anything like this ?
This is how I decided to make the following lifestyle changes :
- I wake up each morning around 4-5 AM - It makes me feel fresh, wide awake and ready to seize the day.
- I take extra cold shower
- I go out and run around 3-5x/day - Running is great, especially in the winter. It is like an ice cold therapy that makes my body and brain relax and feel fresh at the same time.
- I don't drive my car anymore to the medical school - I use my bike. It is an hour long ride and another hour back home, and the weather is like hell and my classmates + parents think I'm nuts, but I just love it. It's the best time of the day, when all the stress gets vanished away.
- I weight train 3x/week, I do bodyweight training 7x/week - pushups, pullups, squats, etc.
- I don't snack, I don't eat sweets, I don't drink alcohol.
