What's the one thing you love to do to prioritize your mental health? I've been noticing that the lack of care for it is trickling down to my family, personal, and interpersonal life.

Have you heard about fit snacks? Literally 10 minutes here, then there throughout the day. You can do the same thing with self care like meditation, stretching, listening to soothing music, even a quick walk or staring out a window.

I love to read books. The minute I'm in a quiet room, comfortable under a blanket and reading a book, I know my mind and soul are at rest. It's the most inexpensive self care that's been working on me for decades now.

Put myself first for a change.

Start by listing all activities that actually do relax you.For eg TV is not relaxing to me. My list: journaling(when I’m very angry/frustrated), meditation (even 10 mins after I pull in to the parking lot), mid day walk, evening skin care (add a face mask), 10 min yoga (Sarah Beth on YouTube) , morning makeup routine (do something extra), treat myself to good coffee and a scone at work, sometimes talking with a like-minded coworker. Depending on my day, how stressed I feel, I fit two or more things to my day. If I couldn’t fit any of these, I cave and drink 4oz of white wine - helps me sleep.

Whenever i have a big deadline, my body goes into a panic mode where my energy immediately goes to figuring out how I’ll get something done well and on time. Outwardly, I don’t seem stressed so no one notices but actually I usually feel like I have a cold: fatigue, headache, sore throat, sinus infection. When a task is done, i stop feeling like crap. It’s been like this since law school. Any tips on managing stress or moving towards doing good work without my body shutting down lol?

Has anyone dealt with a therapist not being able to see you (virtually) while you are temporarily located in another state? I’m struggling with coordinating my work and when I’ll be in my home state with my sessions because apparently I can only be seen when I’m physically in my home state. Are there different types of lisences I should look for that would allow someone to treat me while traveling? It’s all very confusing…

I was recently (in April) fired from a good nursing position that I was at for 5 years. I reached out to my old ADON to get some information on where we had our vaccinations from and she told me that I should come back and the administrator that I had issues with is gone. Is this something I should even consider? I miss my patients and some of my coworkers and the pay is better, but I don't feel like I would really be welcome to come back.

2. In terms of compensation, how much value (% compensation) does a TS clearance have in the DC area? Places I'm considering: AWS, Azure, GCP, Data bricks, Appian etc.
Any advice, thanks!
