      Prioritizing self-care and finding harmony

      There’s a reason flight attendants instruct you to put your mask on first before helping others, should the aircraft lose cabin pressure. You can’t give to others what you don’t have yourself. In a profession where you give 100% for the health of others, it’s equally as important for you to maintain a healthy, positive you. But where do you find the time? When you do find the time, what should you focus on? How do you ensure your needs are met despite the demanding expectations of your career? The answers to these questions look different for everyone, but the following resources can help lead you to the right self-care practices for you.

      Promoting Self-Care

      By Dennis Doherty, MSN, RN, NPD-BC and Michelle Schuster, MSN, RN, CPHON
      What do you think about when you hear the term “self-care?” Does your mind go to exercise, hobbies, or spirituality? These are self-care methods we hear time and time again, but on the flip side, we hear that “time” keeps you from these self-care activities. What if we told you if can be as simple as taking five minutes to practice mindfulness?

      Finding Balance

      By Dennis Doherty, MSN, RN, NPD-BC and Michelle Schuster, MSN, RN, CPHON
      The phrase “work-life balance” feels very “all or nothing.” It suggests that too much work (or too much life) is wrong, when really, it’s different for every person. We like to call it “work-life harmony” because it opens up the door for flexibility. You get to decide what makes you whole.

      By Jack Ricchiuto, MA
      A short session to guide you through how to practice self-compassion. It is mandatory, important, and necessary for your self-care, but we are never taught these methodologies.
