Day 6 - Fiercely Prioritize Self-Care
Every day, you give. But when do you gain?
When you give so much to others, your own well-being might take a backseat. But flourishing starts with you. In fact, Provision 5 of the Code of Ethics for Nurses reminds us:
“The nurse owes the same duties to self as to others, including the responsibility to promote health and safety, preserve wholeness of character and integrity, maintain competence, and continue personal and professional growth.”
Prioritizing self-care isn’t selfish; it’s essential. When you invest in your physical, mental, and emotional health, you can better care for your patients and thrive in your role.
Your Action for Today
Let's keep it simple by doing one act of self-care today. Here are a few ideas:
Remember: Prioritizing self-care helps you avoid burnout and better support your patients, your colleagues, and yourself. Be fierce about protecting your well-being and commit to taking care of yourself.

Your Action for Today
Let's keep it simple by doing one act of self-care today. Here are a few ideas:
- Schedule me-time: Even if it’s just 10 minutes, plan an activity that brings you joy. Read a chapter of a book, take a quick walk, revisit a beloved hobby, or eat your favorite meal.
- Reflect and adapt: Ask yourself: What can I do today to feel more balanced? Discuss this with a friend and gather ideas on how they maintain balance in their lives.
- Take a real break: Step away from work, even if it’s just for 5 minutes, to recharge. Find an accountability buddy who encourages you to take these moments and ensures you stick to them.
Remember: Prioritizing self-care helps you avoid burnout and better support your patients, your colleagues, and yourself. Be fierce about protecting your well-being and commit to taking care of yourself.
