- All too often, ambitious professionals reach their goals only to find themselves overworked, exhausted, burned out, and resentful. Working hard and pushing our limits is necessary for growth, but not when it’s at the expense of our health and happiness. In this talk, Dr. Liz Aguirre shares the key steps she took to become more energized, and more productive and achieve greater success while ending the burnout trap once and for all. Dr. Liz Aguirre is a physician and entrepreneur who has reinvented herself multiple times. Growing up in poverty taught her the importance of grit and hard work which served her well as she worked to obtain her medical degree. However, like many healthcare professionals she struggled with professional burnout. Through a renewed commitment to self-care and self-compassion she was able to heal and has found herself leading others to do the same. Dr. Aguirre is a graduate of The University of Texas San Antonio, completed her medical degree at Texas A&M College of Medicine and her internal medicine residency at Baylor Scott & White in Texas. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
It’s so refreshing to watch a talk about burnout where the person actually gets to the root cause! Really great talk. The cause of burnout has one word = NEGLECT.
Wow... this talk hit me deeply. I have lost count of how many times I have thought or said, "I have no choice".
Sharing a humble background and now holding a management position on a top financial firm, unfortunately I share the pattern of making decisions out of fear, over working myself and dealing with insomnia. I hope that like you, one day I can break out of this cycle.
Me first, better sleep times, better meal times, time to re-energise and live as my best version of myself, this is worthwhile working on myself Thank you for bringing yourself to speak your words x
High five and thank you for listening! It is the hardest thing to say "Me First" but when we do, we start to see things so much more clearly. I couldn't see it for so long. I was paralyzed in fear. Thank you again. Every single comment I read makes me more and more happy that I took the plunge and shared my story!
Liz! It was SUCH an honor to be with you at TEDx Manitou Springs and I am so excited for the world to hear this idea!!! You are such an inspiration and I loved your talk.
Thank you Tia! The pleasure was all mine! I absolutely LOVED how closely our ideas and values aligned. I look forward to keeping in touch!
Amazing Speech , Dr. Aguirre......I hope your speech help to bring about change..burnout is a real mental concern for many healthcare providers...well done
Thank you Vicki! I appreciate you watching and appreciate your support. I hope to be part of the change in healthcare. It's time.
I am dealing with it now
This was a powerful talk. I still have a lump in my throat thinking about her childhood and the story about the dumpster. Thank you for sharing your experience and wise advice.
One of many great Tedx Talks. I've been down her road. When I finally became aware of the root causes of what drove me I started making much better choices of what I needed to do. Getting to the root cause is so important to our understanding and personal growth. I suggest watching her video again, then asking yourself, "Why do I keep doing this?" WHY is a powerful word. You have to keep asking WHY until you get to the real cause. If you don't get to the root cause you will not be working on the right solution. Just this morning I was meeting with my 7th grade TeamMate and I asked him why he wanted to stay on the A honor roll. He said he wanted his mother to be proud of him. When I ask him, why again, he admitted he wanted his mother to love him. In other words, he feared that his mother might not love him if he did not get on the honor roll. .
Steve, thank you for sharing your thoughts and pointing out the critical need to dig deep and figure out the root cause. It is absolutely true. If we don't figure out WHY we are making certain decisions, it is hard to change. Hearing the story of the 7th grade TeamMate is heart breaking to me. All of us have had different challenges. Some big. Some small. Some that seem small but are really very big. In the end, it often is the fear that gets us. Thank you again for watching and your comment.
This video is path to self realization! This is what I am going through in the current phase of my life. Thank you Dr. Aguirre for this excellent talk.
Very inspirational and encouraging speech for someone is experiencing the same burnout symptoms…
Examine our fear and learn how to live with it so we can create space for things that matter more. Thanks, Liz! Your talk is very helpful.
Excellent talk! Very powerful words, and important message. I hope people watch this over and over again until it sinks in!
Thank you for courageously moving through your fear to share this story and message!
Thank you so much. It's never easy.
Thank you... this talk was eye opening about a fear I wasn't aware of. It hit me so deep especially the part about fears. Your story about the dumpster day made me realize a story from my childhood and a fear that s now holding me from prioritizing my precious life.
Your talk is amazing!! Your journey resonated so deeply with me and I'm excited that more people will hear your much needed message!! What a wonderful honor to share the TEDx stage with you Liz!
Thanks Mariama! I’d love to hear what part resonated with you! And the honor was all mine!
@@LizAguirreMD You always have a choice!! Big aha!!
@@MariamaWhyte thank you! The crazy thing is that it is a BIG AHA when we finally believe it!
Thanks for listening!
I can relate to that. Pushing yourself to work harder and trying to prove you belong. And then the part about not recognizing your own self.
Brilliant and heartfelt talk!!! So much truth here.
That was the most important TED talk, Thankyou. I have much to reflect on from it.
Liz! Thank you for this amazing speech. I keep in mind that we're burnt out and stressed because of fear. The solution is not to eliminate fear, but to go through it.
Yes! Thank you Richard. The fear will always be there... we just have to work through it!
Brilliant! Me first, set good boundaries and lead by example - love it x
Your talk was amazing! I certainly can relate to professional burnout. I would say that I may be quadruple certified and always recognized the signs of it. Your words you spoke are the same words I used. Our own childhood experiences that make us stronger also contribute to giving others more than what we give ourselves. My latest professional burnout had the universe hitting me between the eyes with a reminder that it is time for you to take care of you. This medical situation knocked me, a healthy and fit person, off of my feet. Stress and lack of work-life balance led me to serious health issues. Now, it is necessary to take care of me, not my family or the community. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your comment Angela. The hardest thing to do is to prioritize ourselves above the ones we love. I'm sorry to hear about your medical situation but I am so glad to hear that you have committed to prioritizing yourself! "Me First"
💗💗💗Your speech impressed me, smart and professional, I really appreciate it💖💖💖
You are telling the stories of a lot of us. Thank you!!! This is how change happens.
Thank you and yes! I full heartedly agree. This is how we create change!
Beautifully spoken.
Great speaker! Unfortunately I still don't know where to start to get out of burnout after watching this talk, but it does make me more hopeful. Thank you.
Start with sleep. Always start with sleep. Give yourself a non-negotiable 7-8 hour sleep window at the same time every single day if you can. Get up at the same
Time every day of you can. Begin to give your body what it needs - a consistent rhythm. Sleep is the bedrock that your health is built upon.
Respect. A very smart, intelligence and amazing woman!!
Thank you so much for your kind words Sonja. I appreciate the support.
I love this¡ self-love before any other things
Love it !! Thank you for inspiring me and so many more ! Beautiful speech !!
Thank you for listening! I am so glad to hear you are inspired. I hope that you pick one thing that you are going to change TODAY. And if you find yourself falling backwards (as I did time and time again) then ask yourself what the underlying fear is that could be leading you to make decisions that go against your values. Good luck to you! You got this!

My goodness Marianna.... When I read your words "A new chapter has just started" I got chills over my entire body. This is exactly what I want. I want to start a movement and change the culture of self neglect. It's absolutely time for a new chapter. Thanks for watching, sharing your thoughts and supporting my efforts.
Loved hearing this talk and your heart and experience, Liz! Thank you!
Thanks Daniel!

Thank you!
Self care first is not selfish its wise the twelve step program
Absolutely!
@@LizAguirreMD 🌹
Wow, inspiring story! More people need to hear this
Thank you so much!
I think that if we realize all of us have fear, we wouldn’t feel the constant need to push harder at the expense of our happiness or wellbeing
It took me a long time to learn that lesson!
So well done!! Love it!
Thanks Gail. Did anything in particular resonate with you!
Very nice Gail Miller,
@@LizAguirreMD recognizing the role that fear plays.
Yaaaas!!! OMG I love it.
Thank you so much!
Oil and gas industry here. I’m taking more time off because of my health. Need to take care of me first.
Yes! I hope you do! Thanks for watching!
This video very important in new man and woman
Thank you. Please help spread the message!
I think that once we begin to realize that the only thing to fear is fear itself, fear suddenly becomes very difficult for me to believe that the truth is the fact that the people who never go outside are very compelling and they have an opportunity for the late reply but not every bodybuilder prisoner eats ramen or something like that.
The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. So true!
It's possible to find succes and still work less
Absolutely!
❤❤
👏👏
Wow
Thanks for watching.
The USA has left the chat
Damn that joke about coffee died a swift death.
I wish the coffee piece was a joke. It wasn't.
Sleep deprivation is dangerous! Period!
Absolutely! It makes me cringe when I hear people say that sleep is overrated. I believe the opposite. It is underrated. Thanks for listening and sharing your thoughts.
I ❤ you
she lost me when her friend “lost her flight” due to this same topic
Why in the world are doctors allowed to treat patients without sleeping for 24 hours? It should be illegal. It’s time for this to stop for the sake of the doctors but even more so for the patients.
She takes things out on children and nurses without an ounce of regret. No appologies were made 😂
This so confusing i mean I'm old enough to sort understand this but to a young person on one side they hear you don't have to work so hard then you have Elon Musk for example say work as hard as you can so which is it? As far as I know most Americans are workaholics funny enough you see it now more in women. Is it because now they are taking the jobs men would do work basically to the grave? Make up your mind people
They want the doctors to be half asleep/drunk so the doctors keep prescribing for big pharma!!!!! The most intelligent monkeys. 😅😅😅
😂
