Hello my loves!!
I love listening or should I say reading the overlying tone
of comments & emails… and if there is one thing for sure it is this: Nursing School has started for many of you
and it is shocking! I’m getting a lot of
emails from students who are saying that nursing school is completely stressing
them out and if I have any tips to deal with this. Well since I did overcome the stress of
nursing school and I also work in a very very stressful environment there are
definitely a few tips that I can give you!
Lets focus on the top 5.
1. Tip number one meditate!
All you have to do is go to the top of a mountain, stay in the same
position and not think about anything for at least 2 hours :)
ORRRRR – You could do what I do every day and this is call
which is called a pause meditation. All
this means is that you take an every day moment, but somehow become fully
present in this moment. Become fully
aware of your surroundings, feel every part of your body and send out one huge
thank you for the gift of it all… even the things that are stressing you out
the most!
This is a well known type of meditation and if you would
like to learn more about it you can watch this video here!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-yF9EMkE88
2. Move & Stretch – Stress causes muscles to tense up
which slightly decreases the natural flow of blood. But this can ultimately make you feel really
uncomfortable. Getting up and stretching
for 1 minute can have a drastic change in how you feel instantly! If you’re in class wait for a break and put
your booty up against the wall and go to town.
Your classmates will make fun of you…. But secretly they will be wanting
to do it as well.
3. Be aware of how foods are making you feel and have “Power
Snacks” around you at all times! I
completely stopped eating a “Lunch” or “Meal” during the day in college because
all I wanted to do afterwards was “Go to Sleep.” Instead I always made sure I had healthy snacks around me including (but not
limited to): Nuts, Carrot sticks, sliced grapefruit, a banana, granola or
anything else that made me feel good and nourished my body! Having these foods around all the time helped
me relax and focus on my studies.
4. Say NO!!! The
nursing profession attacks the sweetest people in the world; many of us have
the hardest time saying no! But saying
YES to something is always saying NO to something else! You have to be ok with putting yourself
first, so that you can be more of an asset to the world later!
5. Put yourself around positive words! Guys, turn off the TV, Watch limited Youtube
videos that are not directly related to your goals, surround yourself with
encouraging words! Limiting distractions
could be the number one challenge of our time!!
So take the initiative and do just that!
Just a little gift for you, I have created an audio with the link below
which you can download immediately. This
includes good music and quotes from the most amazing people that walked the
face of this earth! They will remind you
that hard work, focus and consistency is the key to your success as well as
recharge your batteries to keep going strong!
I hope you found this helpful!!
If so please share it with your friends, like the video
because it makes me happy and subscribe to the channel so that you are updated
immediately when I post the next video!!
Cannot wait to see you again next week!!
Lots of love,
