Today is Your Best Day!
On page 47 of my book “Nurse: The Guide to Empowering New Nurses in The Delivery of High-Quality Care to All Patients,” I address the spiritual aspect of self-care as it relates to me. In addition, I embrace the affirmations that I have found so meaningful along my personal and nursing journey. A nurse asked to elaborate on the spiritual dimension of self-care as it relates to my patient's spiritual needs.
I can attest that incorporating a spiritual aspect into self-care can provide profound strength, resilience, and peace, especially during challenging times. For those who draw from a Christian belief system, the verse "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" (Philippians 4:13) can be a powerful affirmation. It reminds us that we’re not alone in our struggles on life’s journey. This belief can be an anchor, grounding us in the assurance that Christ’s strength supports and sustains us, empowering us to handle any challenge. Embracing this belief and faith can deepen one’s self-care routine by fostering inner peace, diligence, resilience, and a sense of purpose aligned with God's support. With this support, one can tackle any situation resulting in Your Best Day.
