What is your de-stress?

Nurses Stress 101

Published

The last few postings I've seen for the last couple days are highly stress influenced. And why not? We're in one of the most stressful/pressured positions of work. So I thought for fun, I'd get some suggestions from my friends at AN to see what you do to de-stress?

My contribution: a pedicure. I love the relaxing spa feel of a foot soak and a cute nail polish that only I can see hidden in my nursing shoes.

:) What is your de-stressing techniques? Does it help? :)

My stress relief in the winter is jumping on my snowmobile and flying down the ditch and fields at 100mph.

I'm going to need to find a stress relief for this time of year tho. Starting to really lose it with management and its not good.

I contact juggle. It's like meditation in that I can't think about anything else or I drop it. When I do something really cool (especially on accident) it makes my day. If I'm wound up, it melts the stress away.

That looks relaxing, and ummm HARD!!! I dont think I would be able to do that!!

where do you get it? what is it called?
