Nursing is a demanding profession, and it’s easy to put yourself last while caring for others. But when you’re constantly running on empty, burnout isn’t far behind. In this episode of The Nurses' Break Room with Jenny Lytle, RN, I explore the power of small, intentional changes that can have a big impact on your energy, mindset, and overall well-being.
We’ll dive into:
✅ The small habits that drain your energy—without you even realizing it
✅ Simple self-care strategies for body, mind, and spirit that fit into a busy schedule
✅ How to course-correct before stress and burnout take over
✅ Why rest, movement, and mindful reflection are essential for sustainable well-being
Action Steps
- Identify one small energy-draining habit in your day and replace it with a self-care practice.
- Schedule a 5-minute mindfulness or movement break into your shift—every bit counts!
- Reflect on how you feel at the start and end of your workweek to notice patterns and make necessary adjustments.
If you’ve been feeling drained, disconnected, or just not yourself lately, this episode is for you. Tune in and take the first step toward feeling recharged and refreshed.
