Commitments
Dealing with stress of critical care nursing
I am committed to actually taking some time caring for myself addressing/managing my own health.
I commit to taking some time to enjoy my life.
I commit to taking some time for myself. I spend a lot of time caring for strangers and my own family. I will take some time to do something that I like, even if it is just taking a nap.
I will allow for an activity that makes me happy everyday. It could include taking a nap, watching a TV show, hanging out with friends, going out to dinner, etc. I spend a lot of time in school and studying, so I think I need to spend more time on myself.
I would like to prioritize my well-being and make healthy choices for myself. These include not over-committing, taking time to be active during the day, doing more leisure activities, and getting back into cooking.
I am 4 months PP and I want to lose the baby weight!!!
