Medical school is an objectively stressful path. Lots of pressure to succeed in every step of the process.
Whether you’re still in undergrad, or if you’re currently in med school, what do you do to keep your stress levels down?
I (25F non-trad) historically stress myself out when it comes to school. I remember being in middle school and stressing over whether I’d end with all A’s… what middle schooler is worried about shit like that? Lmao, point is, part of me is just wired this way. I have always been incredibly focused and determined to perform well in school, sports, work, etc. I care deeply about doing things well and to the best of my ability.
Right now I’m finishing my prereqs and prepping to take the MCAT. I am painfully aware of how much I let the stress of grades get to me. I gotta get my shit together before I get into med school. Where do y’all find your zen? How do you work through the pressure to succeed?
