Curiously Caring





To take care of yourself
at the end of the day
after taking care of others
frequently gets put away 
 packed away
   ignored.

To be curious about 
how we feel each morning ~
 before nurses care for others 
 ~ curious about our own lives
opens us up to being kind with intention.

“Self-care is never selfish, but it may feel that way 
when you live a frenzied life.”
~ Arthur P. Ciaramicoli, The Stress Solution: 
Using Empathy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
 to Reduce Anxiety and Develop Resilience
