As nurses, we’re trained to push through—but your body often knows you’re stressed long before burnout shows up.
In this episode of The Nurses’ Breakroom with Jenny Lytle, RN, we explore the early physical stress signals nurses commonly ignore: shallow breathing, tight chests, fatigue, irritability, headaches, muscle tension, and that feeling of being checked out.
These signals aren’t flaws or failures. They’re information.
You’ll learn simple, in-the-moment ways to pause, regulate your nervous system, and respond with compassion—without needing hours of self-care or complicated routines.
If you want to prevent burnout by listening sooner instead of pushing harder, this episode will meet you right where you are.
✅ Takeaways / Action Steps
- Identify early body-based stress signals
- Try a quick 30-second nervous system reset
- Use grounding, breath, and posture to reduce tension
- Ask: “What do I need most right now?”
- Practice earlier boundaries, not bigger ones
- Respond to your body with kindness and curiosity
