Day in and day out as nurses we work to heal, support, and encourage others. Somedays it feels like we don’t even have a minute to pee, let alone do something to support our mental health and wellbeing. But we need it.  

We can’t rely on others to save us and the truth is we do have the time. We need to prioritize ourselves, not sacrifice ourselves for the greater good, and first and foremost truly believe in our worth as human beings.

So here are a few things you can do during, just before, or just after your shift to avoid feeling burnout and overwhelmed. And yes 5 minutes makes a huge difference…simple doesn’t mean unimportant! 5 minutes every day for a week, a month, a year, adds up. And these small acts of self-nurture will become autopilot with practice and consistency and transform your perspective.

I challenge you to read through these and try one on for size this week! Maybe even get your work bestie in on it as your accountability buddy!
