Monopoly is a game that gets intense and lasts hours. I enjoy playing this game with friends and family. It gives me the opportunity to enjoy moments with the people I care about rather than being on my phone or watching tv.

This is a paragraph I read and have won my wall in my dorm, its harsh but it inspires me to do better and do the best I can and be the best me.

"Someone out there is going to be a better nurse than you, because while you're procrastinating, they're grinding. Every hour you waste is someone else's advantage. Remember, you chose this path, and no one’s going to feel sorry for you when you fail. So either put in the work now, or watch someone else take your spot.There are no shortcuts to becoming a nurse. Every time you think about taking a break, someone else is mastering the skills that could save a life—skills you don't have yet. If you can't handle the pressure now, what makes you think you can handle real patients? Study harder or watch your dreams slip away."

I find that eating healthy foods helps me stay less stressed and over whelmed. I believe that what I intake into may body determines the way im going to feel afterwards. eating bad food makes me feel guilty and then I stress about my weight. Eating good food promotes good emotions and helps me deal with things more rationally.

Radical acceptance is about fully accepting the reality of a situation or circumstance without trying to alter or change it, its very important in nursing because it helps manage emotional distress and improves resilience.

To incorporate it into my daily life and into practice, I can practice mindfulness, focusing on what I can personally control, acknowledging my emotions, show self compassion, and I can use strategies like journaling to reflect on myself and situations. Doing this it will improve and maintain my overall well-being and help me provide the best care possible for my future patients.
