Ever feel disassembled? YEP. Me too. So, how can you reconnect with your authentic self and re-assemble? Healing Rituals are one way.

Adding joy to the day of a Critical Care Nurse seems like it might remain at the bottom of our ‘to do’ list, and oh so difficult to see through all the pain. And yet, there are moments that fill your heart with the love and compassion needed to move forward.

The second I heard the drum, I felt it's resonance deep into my soul, like I had been yearning for it my entire life. Have you had that experience?

Sometimes it takes a loooong time before you realize you want to, need to, MUST do what is best for yourself, and establish boundaries.

I recall my own journey to expressing gratitude. I started my own gratitude lists years ago, and at first, I found it difficult to think of things I was grateful for.

Not setting boundaries is so exhausting. I know first hand, because I never set boundaries either. I put everyone and everything before my own needs. And it resulted in me burning out, big time! Not setting boundaries comes at such a great cost.

Banishing burnout begins from within and extends into the systems we work in. When we show systems how to treat us, because we care for ourselves, we shift systems to wellbeing with us and for us. Restoration Room, Tucson, AZ.
