Take a day off. If that's harder than it sounds, go for a walk during your break. The fresh air, sunshine, and exercise will
rejuvenate you.
Compliments
Dole out sincere compliments to peers and feel better in a flash. The time you spend thinking of others positively will not
only lift their spirits, but also yours. T.L.C.
Make time each shift to give patients extra love. A five-minute chin scratch might remind you why you chose this profession.
Food
Grab some healthy eats, like peanut butter and toast, to carry you through that afternoon slump and all the way past the end-of-day
rush.
Closure
Set your sights on a task you've been avoiding—filing, calling an infamous vendor, clearing off your desk. You'll wipe away
stress when you cross off that daunting chore.
