What are some strategies for making time for self-care and personal interests outside of work?
Self care is just that! It’s looks different on everyone. Connect with the things, people, and places that replenish your body and soul! I go to the museum or to the movies by myself, reading. It can be a time of renewed self discovery or new discoveries. Enjoy meeting your best self! Much Love!!!💝 OR nurse, board certified nurse holistic nurse & nurse coach!
You work 3 days a week and need help figuring out what to do with 4 days off? You need a jet ski.
Do things that you enjoy. Make appointments on your days off for a pedicure or manicure. Massages are great. Call your friends for a breakfast, lunch or dinner outing. Our jobs are stressful enough. I’ve been in acute care 31 years and have done it all. If you don’t make time for yourself you will burn your candle. Go to the movies, watch something mindless on TV that will take you away and make you laugh.
And get a kick out of these realty shows called 90 day fiancée, it amazes me their culture and how they meet others from the US.
Also, don’t be afraid to ask for a Friday off and take a long weekend for yourself, husband or even make it a girls trip.
Good Luck, hope some of this has helped you.
