Let's do this!
So, here's what's going to happen.
After this video is done, you are going to have a personalized action plan to help you
kick nursing school overwhelm to the curb.
So, I want you to go grab a piece of paper and a pen right now, I'll even wait right
here for you to come back.
Sweet, now let's get started!
So now that you've got your paper and a pen, here is the first thing you're going to write
down.
Make a list of things you need to do this week, all of the things that you've got going
on, that you need to get done for nursing school, or for life, just write everything
down that you need to do this week.
Now, I want you to take a whole 3 minutes to do this activity.
Literally, write down everything you need to do this week.
So when I say go, hit pause on this video, and take 3 whole minutes to write all of it
down.
Ready, set, go!
Overwhelming right?
I mean, there's about a gazillion things on that list!
Phew...so let's fix this and make it way less overwhelming.
Now, I want you to write out 3 things that you can do to make your life LESS overwhelming.
Think of 3 things that you find enjoyable, that will give you energy, and make you happy.
Do you need to take a daily walk?
Do you need to make prayer a priority?
Take your dog to the dog park?
Take a nap this afternoon?
Make a list of 3 things that will help you be less overwhelmed and anxious about that
whole to-do list.
Hit pause again on this video and take 1 whole minute to think about and write down 3 things
that will give you energy this week.
Ready?
GO!
Alright!
Awesome job so far, I'm so glad you picked 3 things you want to do this week to give
you more energy and help you beat the nursing school overwhelm.
Now, here's the last thing I want you to write down, are you ready?
Because this one's a doozy...
What are 3 things you are going to GIVE UP this week to make it happen?
What 3 things are you going to NOT do this week, in order to fit in those 3 things that
give you energy?
Are you going to walk up a half hour early to get a quick walk in?
Are you going to cut back on the afternoon caffeine and drink some extra water instead?
Make a list of 3 things you are going to give up so that you can do all of the things that
will make nursing school less overwhelming.
So, take 3 more minutes and make a list of 3 things you are going to give up, or 3 things
you are going to stop doing this week, in order to make time for those 3 things that
will give you energy and make you happier.
Okay, so your 3 minutes begins NOW!
Phew....Do you feel better already?!
I hope so, because you've made a list of 3 things that you want to do this week that
bring you joy, and keep your energy up, and you've made a list of things you can give
up or stop doing in order to make it happen.
You've actually got an ACTION PLAN right in front of you.
So now, you need to USE it.
Commit to doing those 3 things this week that will bring you joy.
And as you go through this week, I want you to shift your focus away from all of the stress
of nursing school, and onto the things that bring you joy.
You've just listed out 3 things you enjoy doing and that will keep you energized, so
let that fuel you this week.
Think about them as you go through this week, and get excited!
You've got a lot to look forward to, and it's all written down right on that list.
Friend, you can do this!
Nursing school may be tough, but YOU are tougher.
Don't forget that!
You've got this!
Now go become the nurse that God created only YOU to be.
And I'll see you right back here next time on the nursing school show, take care.
