Travel nursing is a glamorous, exciting adventure. You are a nursing rock star on the road. And yes, at times, you’ll feel stress and anxiety related to all the busyness of settling into your new gig. And you want to feel calm, confident, and competent when it’s show time. Here are three quick, easy and proven remedies that any nurse can do. Treat yourself on the road, on the job and in your daily life.
- Airway open? Take a deep cleaning breathing break.
- Circulation? Try this quick stretch when the job is a pain in the neck. Couch Potato Yoga. Uh-huh. You can do this in a chair at work, or soon as you land on your couch at home.
3. Anxious mind. Fear? Use one of these mantras.
What is a mantra?
A mantra is an instrument of the mind.
You repeat it over and over and over and over like a catchy tune.
You replace the downer; burn out thoughts with these mantras.
I have TWO versions here. USE the one that resonates with your heart and spiritual/ religious belief system. Personally, I use both.
VERSION #1
LOVE GOES WITH ME WHEREVER I GO
LOVE GOES WITH ME WHEREVER I GO
LOVE GOES WITH ME WHEREVER I GO
Repeat now and always in your nursing travels. I shared this in NYC recently, with hundreds of nurses who are still recovering from their extreme, heroic efforts during Hurricane Sandy. They loved this mantra, and it loved them.
I also gave it to a client who had a recent stroke and is crumbing under the enormous road to recovery she has a head of her. Both she and her weary husband use this mantra and their burdens were made lighter. I wish this for you.
VERSION #2
GOD GOES WITH ME WHEREVER I GO
GOD GOES WITH ME WHEREVER I GO
GOD GOES WITH ME WHEREVER I GO
The Plan
Repeat, repeat, repeat heading into work, on the floor, at the bedside, with your nursing colleagues, in your car, on the plane and when you’re ready to breathe fire at someone at work plus it’s great to help you with insomnia. Repeat until, the Mantra repeats itself, on auto pilot- until it becomes engraved in the soft ware of your nursing soul, a good vibe ever humming in the background of your consciousness.
