Image
When we think of the skills that make a nurse a nurse, writing is not the first one that may come to mind. PICC lines, wound care, ventilators, IVs, and physical assessment are the kinds of things we think of, but the power of the pen, as it were, is definitely not in the running (except, of course, for basic nursing documentation). However, I'll posit that writing is a skill that can serve your nursing career in both mundane and powerful ways throughout the years. What's your level of skill as a writer, and do you want to improve?   Career Development 101 In terms of career development and management, being able to articulate your skills, professionalism, knowledge, and expertise in written form is crucial.

Throughout your nursing career, hiring a career coach or resume writer is always a viab...

Yes, we all know that behaviors like regular physical activity and proper nutrition are an essential component of long-term health , but in the hustle and bustle of modern life it can be difficult to make the necessary changes to adopt new lifestyle habits.

How to Recognize a Mental Health Condition & Offer Support – William Kabutu

Millions of people are a­ffected by mental illness each year. Across the country, many people just like you work, perform, create, compete, laugh, love and inspire every day – the only difference is they are struggling on the inside. Now more than ever, it’s important that we bring awareness to mental health issues, and acknowledge that it doesn’t always look the same for each person. By gaining some understanding of mental illness, we can learn how to recognize it in others and offer the help and support they may need. Common Warning Signs of Mental Illness Diagnosing mental illness isn’t a straightforward science. We can’t test for it the same way we can test blood sugar levels for diabetes.

4 BENEFITS OF BREATH AWARENESS AND WHY PRACTICING IT MATTERS - WILLIAM KABUTU

    PRACTICING CONSCIOUS BREATHING IS GOOD FOR YOU. A person typically takes between 17,000 and 30,000 breaths per day, every day. Bring your attention to this normal occurrence for a few minutes daily for health benefits, documented by growing research evidence. And, pausing for a 2-minute breathing break is a great way to enjoy a quick refresher in the midst of a hectic day, especially if it’s a work from home day. Let’s begin with a few definitions: Conscious breathing or ‘breath awareness’ practices simply means that you pay attention to your breath. You make no effort to control or change it. ‘Coherent breathing’ is an exercise where you consciously lengthen your breath and make your inhale and exhale (known as one breath cycle) approximately the same length. It’s also referred to as paced breathing. ‘Controlled breathing’ exercises, also known as pranayama among yoga practitioners, involve varying the lengths of inhalations and exhalations by specific cou...

Self-Care: 8 Unconventional Ways To Take Better Care of Yourself - William Kabutu

Image
  1. Declutter. Making room for your life is an unconventional self-care method . What a gift to yourself to let go of things you don’t love and use while not only creating space but surrounding yourself with only your favorite things. If you aren’t sure where to start, consider these tiny projects. 2. Walk away. Not everything is meant for you. Even all the good stuff isn’t meant for you. Limit what you allow in. From email and social media to opportunities and opinions, if it isn’t meant for you, walk away. Usually, no explanation or response is necessary. P.S. When you are walking away from the stuff that isn’t meant for you, you are taking steps towards what is. 3. Stop Drinking. With the “rosé all day” hype and “mommy juice” memes,  you’d think drinking was a form a self-care. It has often been positioned as a way to take the edge off a long day and for a long time, I thought it helped me relax but once I stopped drinking for 100 days, I realized it only...
