Gratitude is very important in a professional setting, and especially in the medical field because everyone is doing a difficult, stressful job. It is important to recognize what your coworkers are doing and how they have helped you throughout the day, or the patient assignment. Inter-professional team members can demonstrate gratitude in many ways, for example through body language (handshake, hug, etc), or verbally by acknowledging a good job, or something helpful they did.
At times when I am feeling stressed at school, one thing I often do to manage that is go to the beach. By sitting at the beach for half an hour I am usually able to collect my thoughts, and calm down because it is a very peaceful atmosphere. While, I will probably not be able to leave work to go to the beach to manage stress, I can try to find a few minutes to center myself and take deeps breaths to decrease my stress, and continue to do a good job at work.
