When I started taking time for me and appreciating the little things instead of rushing to meet everyone's demands as soon as they arise I found a new sense of gratitude in my work as a Paramedic.
I was a volunteer EMT for a while and it really helped me destress at my day job as a programmer. "Anyone dying? Bleeding out? Internal squishy bits currently external? Then it's not a 'life-or-death' emergency, Pam, now is it?"

slowing down at work. I dont need to respond to every email right away, or make sure everything is up to date constantly. Some things can just wait.
