On Absorbing Negative Energy

I try my best to forget the injustices of training but because I'm still a trainee, I am exposed to multiple circumstances of that fact. Well perhaps because I'm still living within it. Few minutes ago, a junior resident told me that he was assisted by one of my mentors (who doens't invest time to assist me). When I was in my junior resident's shoes, he left me be taught by his chief resident, who of course, is very inexperienced compared to him. He trusted that resident so much that everything I worked hard for turned into a void when that resident unfairly judged me on how I conduct my surgeries. Again, I am reminded of how bad it feels, to work so hard, only to lose it over politics. As usual, to get rid of ill emotions, I succumb to cleaning, which literally and figuratively allows me to clean out negative thoughts. Perhaps there's some cosmic significance to occurences and the universe heard my plea on this quiet Sunday night. I stumbled upon an article entitled, "5 ways to stop abosrbing negative energy". So here are the 5 ways:

 1. Remember, you can't please everyone 

 What is difficult for me to let go is the fact that I worked so hard to please this mentor. I took care of my reputation, only to be ruined by the judgment of someone. I admit that I am still a newb in this profession, and I have room to develop my career. I counted on this mentor so much to teach me because I developed a deep admiration for his surgical skills. However, to my disappointment, he did not invest in me. I do not know how to accept that. But I have to do whatever it takes to forget on pleasing him, and to concentrate on improving myself. Right now I have two pending cases with him: a surgical case and a research proposal. I have to concentrate on both - for myself, and not to please him.

 2. Be careful who you invite in your life 

 This is a great reminder. I need to learn to say no to people I don't have to invest in.

 3. Stop paying attention 

 Thanks for the reminder universe!

 4. Breathe in nature 

 Ok my exams are coming up, but I need to find time to do this. Really.

 5. Take 100% responsibility for your thoughts and emotions 

 This I totally agree with. I will only think of positive thoughts for myself, and feel good for myself. I've been taking the necessary steps to take care of myself lately, and I will improve in the next coming days.
