What’s Next After This? >> R-E-S-T REST
I honestly feel like I have been in survival ‘fight or flight’ mode since beginning nursing school back in 2015. Nursing school was the most challenging educational journey I embarked on. I had to learn how to think differently, learn differently, and understand the true “why” beyond concepts – not just pure memorization. My two years of nursing school brought much successes, failures, friendships and love. My next two and a half years of simultaneously beginning as new nurse and embarking on my Master of Nursing degree put a spirit of hustle in me to make it to the finish line and not pause.
What’s Next? The question people love to ask me after I tell them I’m graduating. Next is rest, next is learning more about who Alexandra is, next is more time with God, next is more prayer, next is building on this self-love that has changed my spirit inside and out, next is spending more intentional time with family and friends, next is nourishing my friendships, next is healing and opening my heart to a genuine pure sustaining beautiful healthy love, next is more naps, next is financial freedom, and next is rest. I’m open to the blessings and opportunities that come my way AND enjoying the peace of being still and only participating and engaging in activities, friendships, and collaborations that speak to me soul.
My nickname throughout my year and two month orientation to the cardiac catheterization lab was FIGHT or FLIGHT. Ya girl is ready to get out of fight and flight mode and just truly live.
