Activity and Well-being: Interview with Dr. Roxanne Sukol

Today, I continue the conversation with Dr. Roxanne Sukol regarding how to maintain our well-being in times of stress. In this interview, we discuss patterns of physical activity and leveraging small changes to impact in big ways on our stress levels and our health.

As I write this, we are in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, a very stressful time for us all. However, these themes apply equally well to managing your well-being in the midst of medical malpractice litigation, after a difficult adverse patient outcome, or in the middle of any other stressful time in your life.

Listen in as we discuss:

  • aerobic and non-aerobic activity

  • simple ways to reduce the “energy of activation” required to get active

  • holding realistic expectations and engaging in compassion for yourself when it comes to improving your patterns of activity
