The Gritty Nurse

Finding Your Anchor: A 5-Minute Mindfulness Practice for Uncertainty


Listen Later

Raise your hand if Mondays feel like a personal attack?? Seriously, the start of the work week or the start of a nursing/healthcare rotation (when you're crushing it on those 2s and 3s or 4-on-4-off rotations) can drop a ton of bricks on your vibe. That wave of "ugh, here we go again" anxiety? Been there, felt that.

Trouble sleeping Sunday night? Anxiously in the morning or a bit on edge? But what if we could reframe that Monday energy? What about owning your work week from the jump?

Try this short but powerful 5-minute mindfulness activity designed to help you navigate life's uncertainties. Learn to connect with your inner calm, acknowledge what feels unknown, and discover the steady resources you carry within. It's a gentle reminder that even in the stormiest moments, your breath can be your anchor. Let's make every week start strong.
