Sherna is back with more inspiring tips for success! 🌟 As our esteemed Director of Case Management (MSW, LCSW-C), Sherna Barksdale understands the challenges faced by Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) like you. In the midst of your demanding profession, Sherna emphasizes the importance of practicing gratitude—it reduces stress, anxiety, and depression, improves sleep and heart health, boosts resilience, and enhances self-esteem. Here are Sherna's practical tips to incorporate gratitude into your daily routine: - Count your blessings daily. Take a moment to appreciate the good things. - Say thank you. Express gratitude through a note or verbally—it makes a big difference. - Keep a gratitude journal. Writing down what you're thankful for brings clarity and positivity. - Take a walk. Connect with nature and reflect on what you appreciate. - Practice meditation. Focus on the positives in your life to cultivate a grateful mindset. - Create a gratitude jar. Fill it with notes to uplift you when needed. Volunteer or give back. Helping others deepens your sense of gratitude and fulfillment. Let's continue embracing gratitude together as we navigate the challenges of caregiving with positivity and resilience! 🌟 #ShernasTips #Gratitude #CNA #DwyerWorkforce
