Kelee® Medicine Workshop
The Importance of Being Centered for Self-Care and Reducing Burnout

In the world of Medicine, it is very easy for health care providers to be adversely affected by many stressors. Simply put, when you are stressed out by the negativity of the world and/or your own negative thoughts and feelings, you are pulled off-center. How do you find your center? Where is your center? Kelee meditation offers a simple 5 minute practice twice per day that allows you to find your center and learn to detach from the stressors that we all face every day, thus allowing us to care for ourselves and reduce burnout.
