Take frequent breaks from what you are doing.

Use the reminder cards from the NurseFit yoga classes to do stretching exercises and breathing exercises each hour.
Learn the word “no.” Use it whenever necessary.
Share the load with others.
There is humor in every situation. Find it and laugh.

Recognize when you need help. Ask for it.

Practice the self-coaching exercises from the NurseFit coaching workshops so you are not the Lone Ranger!
Give yourself credit when credit is due.
Give others credit when credit is due.

Breathe deeply as often as possible.

Use the techniques you learn in the NurseFit yoga classes.
