Challenge Tips

Welcome to the Beat the Burnout challenge sponsored by the American Nurses Foundation!
 

To kick off this challenge, we're introducing a powerful tool that can help you better understand and manage your stress levels: The Stress Continuum.

The Stress Continuum gives nurses a framework to identify and communicate their stress levels effectively. It divides stress into different zones, ranging from green (healthy stress levels) to red (severe stress or burnout).

 

Here's how it works: Most of us live day-to-day in the green and yellow zones, where stress is manageable and even motivating. But when we enter the orange or red zones, it's a signal that our stress has reached a critical level, and it's time to take action to restore balance and well-being.
 

Your Action for Tonight
Take the Stress Self-Assessment Quiz developed by the American Nurses Foundation. This quiz will help you see where you fall on the Stress Continuum and give you personalized resources tailored to your stress level.
 

By taking this short quiz, you’ll gain insight into your stress levels while taking a proactive approach to your mental health and well-being.
