When was the last time you really laughed? In healthcare, where stress, fatigue, and high-stakes decision-making are the norm, it can be easy to forget the power of humor. But what if I told you that laughter is one of the most effective—and enjoyable—ways to reduce stress and improve your health? And what if I told you that incorporating humor into your daily routine could actually make you a better healthcare professional?

Burnout is a word we hear a lot in healthcare, and many of us have experienced it firsthand. The demands of our jobs often leave little room for self-expression, joy, or personal fulfillment. But what if I told you that one of the best ways to combat burnout is by finding something that sets your soul on fire—a passion project that reignites your energy and creativity? And what if I told you that dedicating just a little time to a hobby or creative outlet could have profound effects on your professional and personal well-being?

And what if I told you that a digital detox, even a short one, could dramatically improve your mental clarity, reduce anxiety, and help you reconnect with what truly matters?
