You Look After Everyone. Here Are 5 Small Habits to Look After You.

You can't pour from an empty cup

For most of my 28 years as a registered nurse, I was the one looking after everyone else: patients, families, students and my own household.

It takes a few small habits that fit into the day you already have.
