I’m so guilty of pushing myself to do more than is probably healthy. It’s the people pleaser in me. I will say I’ve gotten considerably better in 2023 but have a ways to go. I’ve been SO much better about setting boundaries, protecting my time, and setting realistic expectations. But I will say I can improve on trying to slow down and enjoy what’s in front of me. For years I’ve been so used to pushing toward “the next thing”. Now I feel time slipping away, as I push toward the pursuit of my next milestone. Don’t get me wrong, goals are good. Working toward something is healthy. But if you’re like me, sometimes slowing down is necessary, and taking a step back and a deep breath is the best thing you can do for yourself. #crna #srna #srnalife #nurseanesthetist #nurseanesthesia #ccrnprep #ccrn #icurn #criticalcarenurse
