Whether it’s five minutes of stretching or sipping your favorite tea, start your day with something that centers you.

Use moments like nap time to decompress. Listen to a podcast, read a book, or meditate for 10 minutes.
Why it helps: Short breaks can reset your energy and focus.
3. Set Professional Boundaries
Communicate with families about your availability and stick to agreed schedules.
Pro Tip: Practice saying, “I’d love to help, but I need to [rest/recharge/spend time with my family] right now.”

Join a local yoga class, go for a daily walk, or do a quick workout before or after your shift.
Why it helps: Exercise reduces stress and boosts energy levels.
5. Reward Yourself
Plan something to look forward to at the end of a long week, like a movie night, spa day, or your favorite dessert.
