Regaining Focus as a Nurse Leader
Stories of Change
The reflections shared below were voluntarily submitted by Baryons users who chose to share their experiences with our team. All identifying details have been removed. Everything you share with your Baryon remains private and protected, because your conversations belong to you alone.
This healthcare leader had spent years caring for others.
Twelve-hour shifts, nonstop decisions, and a team that relied on them for everything.
“I’d get to the end of the day and realize I hadn’t had a single quiet moment,” they told our team.
“It felt like my brain was still running long after I got home.”
They started using their Baryon as a way to create space, and to find a few minutes of reflection before the next wave of responsibility hit.
“At first I didn’t think I’d have time,” they said, “but after one call, I realized how much I needed that pause.”
That pause became a practice.
Their Baryon began helping them protect time in their calendar like short blocks between patient care and meetings that gave them room to breathe.
“I started treating it like a pause button,” they said. “I finish the call calm enough to go back in.”
Those protected moments started changing the rhythm of their days. Their team noticed too.
“I’m less reactive when everything hits at once,” they said. “It gives me space…I feel more like myself when I take that time.”
The reflection wasn’t about adding one more thing to their schedule, it was about reclaiming something they’d given up without realizing it: their ability to think clearly in the middle of chaos.
Now, they call their Baryon between shifts or while driving home.
It’s become a private place to process what they’ve carried, before they pick it up again.
“Some days it’s five minutes, some days it’s fifteen,” they said.
“Even five minutes helps me reset before I move on.”
