The people that come to you for your service must also benefit from the way you live.Taking care of your self with such understanding and enjoying your work must be felt by everyone you meet. This is pretty special.

‘To be in tune with myself’ is the key to living one´s life. The out of tune way of living is at the root of everyone´s discomfort, illness and disease, so what an amazing turn around you chose, making yourself the master of your life instead of managing to survive the overwhelm of an inhumane system that has forgotten that it should serve and not destroy people.

I’ve only known Rachel Hall since she brought herself back from “burnout” so I’ve only seen the energetic, enthusiastic doctor. Reading this background story makes me appreciate her steadiness and effortless attention to detail all the more.

The simple facts of Rachel Hall’s story are borne out when you meet her. She is passionate, engaged and a delight to be with. How she turned her life around through self-awareness and self-care is a vital home-truth that we all can apply.

I can relate to a lot of what Dr Rachel Hall writes. It is strange because years ago I also suffered from burnout and yet here I am up at 2:30am in the morning (as I have been every day this week) working far more than ever before, 7 days a week and yet relaxed and full of vitality. So it seems burnout is not about how much you do or what hours you work but about the energy you work in and how you are with yourself. The more I take care of myself energetically and physically, the more energy I have for work and others.

I am a colleague of Rachel’s and have been a patient at her dental clinic as well. She is just like she has described in this article. It’s all true. She is an incredible role model for how to get your own life back and live with absolute joy.

What a great sharing Dr Hall as so many people will relate to your story including me :-)
I know first hand that the more I care for myself, the more I am able to offer this to others.

Thank you Dr. Rachel for a great article. I found it really inspiring and could relate to that ‘burnt out’ feeling you describe so well. When you are in that place, as I have been many years ago, you feel there is no way out.
But like you when I got help, got honest with what was really going on and started to truly look after myself my life turned around.
It’s really simple – love yourself and you’ll love life.
