Sometimes you just have to take some time to do the little things that you enjoy doing like reading a book, playing with your children or animals, taking a weekend trip, or engaging in a hobby like sewing, photography, or hiking.
If you don’t take time to enjoy the things that mean something or help you to relax and feel like you’ve been able to escape or do something just for you, you can become angry, frustrated and resentful.

Every day, I hear about a new energy drink; Rockstar, Monster Energy, Full throttle, Redline and Wire…well, you get it! Beverage manufactures are feeding our demands for more caffeine because as a travel nurse there are just not enough hours in the day. Being a travel nurse can be incredibly exhausting.
Turn away the caffeine and use natural energy boosters:

•Try a supplement , B6, B12 or Coq -10
•Healthy breathing techniques and posture raises energy
