Healthy Nurse, Healthy Nation - When Nurses Become Patients Challenge— Your Day 8 Tip — Embrace Healthy Boundaries with this Exercise
Published
Feeling overwhelmed by well-meaning friends and colleagues? It may be time to lay down the law.
At work, setting and enforcing personal limits lowers stress and prevents burnout. Those same benefits carry over to your home life, too. Setting boundaries doesn't make you a grouch; it sets the stage for healthy relationships. Setting & enforcing personal boundaries is good for your body, mind, & soul.
Your Action for Today
Whenever you’re sick, think about what you need most during your recovery (rest, quiet time, etc.). Craft a short message (text, email, handwritten note) to your loved ones letting them know how much you appreciate their support, but that you need (space, time, freedom, etc.) to focus on healing.
See how a #healthynurse uses this advice. Carolyn Huffman, WHNP, PhD, prioritizes her mental health by saying “no” when necessary.
