We’ve all worked with healthy and unhealthy patients and we’ve seen the effects of poor health habits on the human body. The health of a pregnant woman is often dramatically reflected in the health of her offspring.
To run a successful and healthy CLNC® business, you must enjoy an optimal state of health. Give yourself permission to take care of yourself first. I love my business, but I love myself more. After all, without a healthy me, I couldn’t muster the energy to give 110% to my clients and employees every day.
Vickie’s Personal Prescription for Optimal Health
- Exercise – My goal is to exercise at least five days a week. I love hiking, biking and working with weights. Even a short walk outside helps me clear my head before or after a full day.
- Massage – A once-a-week massage renews my energy.
- Vacation – I schedule 12 weeks of vacation for myself every year.
- Time with spouse, family and friends – Make time for love. When I travelled to Africa, I was touched to learn that in a herd of elephants when one falls, the others will try to pick him up. I love being surrounded by my own family of elephants.
- Daily prayer and meditation – I’m most creative in silence. So I start each day with a cup of healthy green tea and a few moments of silence.
- Weight control – I eat mostly healthy low-fat, low-carb foods with occasional treats like popcorn at the movies and I avoid all high-fructose corn syrup and trans fats.
- Supplements – Flaxseed, green tea, vitamins and antioxidants are part of my daily regimen.
- Fun – I schedule something fun at least twice a week, including time for things I love – reading, walks with my husband, our whirlpool, theatre and musicals.
- Sleep – I get 7-8 hours sleep per night, not per week.
- Take Sunday off – I don’t even make my bed or shave my legs.
- Work my passion – I revolutionize nursing careers, one RN at a time. Nothing invigorates me more than a CLNC® success story from one of my students.
Write a prescription for your own optimal health physically, spiritually and emotionally – and follow it. You’ll have the energy and vitality to enjoy your legal nurse consulting career.
