Arleen reminds healthcare workers that the field of healthcare is full of daily physical, mental and emotional challenges. It is highly likely that in addition to the long hours you are probably not integrating self-care in your daily routine. When you are running on an empty tank, you need to keep your tank at least half full, not bone dry!

Arleen reminds healthcare workers that you need to carefully examine your emotional and physical responses especially in stressful situations. Having the courage to recognize when you need a moment to find a quiet place where external stimulations in your environment are limited. 

Arleen reminds professional healthcare workers that they shouldn’t wait to the point when you are having a meltdown. You must train your mind to look inward and examine what is within your control and what you can do to send love, compassion and empathy to the people you serve regardless of what is happening around you. Arleen reminds us that good things are happening around us, we just need to pay attention to them. When you advocate for your needs, you are in the best position to increase your tank before it runs completely dry.
