NNBA Nurse Entrepreneur News – 05/15/2018
Do you take time to celebrate the milestones in your career and personal life? Having recently celebrated nurse’s week, I hope each of you took time to recognize and celebrate all that you have accomplished in your nursing career. Was it a few seconds, or did you really let the good feelings resonate? I just finished reading Dr. Rick Hanson’s book, Hardwiring Happiness. He writes about the brain science of contentment, calm, and confidence. The book scientifically explains how our brains are like Velcro for negatives, and Teflon for positives. In one of the steps, he outlines how to change the neuroplasticity of our brains: take in the good, (for more than a few seconds). I really enjoyed this book, and highly recommend it.
