Weekly Prompt#1: 5 Affirmations For Yourself

Inviting a few friends for their thoughts: @777Bre777, @HippieChik1975, @LyssSky03, @AndreaDawn, @HopefulSprings, @TheRandomEMT, @Jaeteuk

If you know a fellow healthcare worker, please feel free to tag them in this post so we can all discuss and support together.

Although your work is more behind-the-scenes, it is still just as important.

This is something that I always need to remind myself. Even as behind-the-scenes, without my part of the work, surgeries will be difficult to proceed.

@ASilentObserver

@Jaeteuk Agreed Jae. Every effort and contribution counts. Yours are significant contributions. Thank you for all you do and being here with us. How are you doing?

I'm in a little of a struggle (financially), since my position is not permanent and only work to cover other's vacation. I'm jobless at the moment. I won't have shifts until a week in March. Amongst 5 other colleagues that I cover vacation days for, unfortunately, they don't have enough vacation where it covers the entire 52 weeks. People don't usually take vacation in the first 3 months of the year. Luckily, it gives me more time to work on launching my business. So, once I succeed in that, I could eventually quit my job, or just pick up shifts that I want to work.

@TheRandomEMT Thank you EMT for tagging fellow healthcare members.

@ASilentObserver thank you for including me in this post! I've had a hard week myself and still put everything I can in for my patients but it's been more challenging than usual.

1.You're not someone else's opinion of yourself. ,

2. I matter

3. Just because someone didn't treat me right doesn't mean I stopped being of worth

I just feel we face so much criticism at times at work that we stop valuing ourselves. Also obs..is the support group still active?

@ASilentObserver

this is a great post, i previously have done telecommunications and office work at health care facilities and hospitals. health care can sometimes be a very stressful industry to work it, there are time contraints and catering to the patients' needs... i think its a great idea to have a support group for health care workers, they do God's work on Earth, saving peoples' lives!

@NewYorker11 I can imagine how stressful it can be Newyorker. Thank you for your contributions and support to the healthcare community and here with us

thank you for creating this thread. I spend so much time helping others I-have longed for a space to support my needs by connecting with others in the field ❤️

@ASilentObserver

1. One kind word can warm three winter months.

2. They may forget your name, but they will never forget how you made them feel.

3. If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.

4. Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.

5. The greatest of all mistakes is to do nothing because you think you can only do a little.

 

@xandia those are much needed affirmations Xandia. thank you for sharing with us. How are you doing?

@ASilentObserver

Considering the hours I'm working, I'm doing well. Thank you for asking. I do enjoy answering the prompts. It gives me a break from my work day and allows me to focus on myself for a moment. I appreciate you putting this together. I look forward to future prompts. ❤️💚💙🏥

@ASilentObserver I often forget how important affirmations are, and I really don't know why I stopped daily gratitude journaling where I would list what I loved in the world, and then what I loved about myself. It's probably because the method started working and I was feeling better so I took it forgranted and stopped practicing! Go figure - that's what I get for being human. :P

1. I am more than just my job title

2. I am dedicated to being a professional who continues to keep learning but also wants to develop on a personal level to be better for those around me.

3. I genuinely care about other people.

4. I am funny.

5. I can do, most things, I put my mind to!

I appreciate the support obs.
