Gratitude is important for a professional setting so that the professionals feel fulfilled with their job and feel like they are doing it well. Gratitude allows professionals to let other professionals that they work with, know that they are doing a good job. Something as simple as, “Good job with that proposal!” or “This chart looks great!” can show someone that they are performing well at their job and this will make them want to continue working and to do even better. Professionals can show gratitude in small comments like mentioned previously, or even as simply as saying thank you or smiling.

When I am feeling stressed or overwhelmed I like to make a list of things that I need to get done and the due dates so that I feel more organized. After making the list I break it up into a day by day schedule so that I can choose how much work I am getting done each day and then I feel less overwhelmed. I also do yoga once I finish the things on the list that I needed to get done for that day. In nursing I can make mental lists of things that need to get done during my work day and then do yoga or meditate once I get home from my shift to decompress from the shift.
