Living Sublime Wellness provides a monthly e-mail newsletter, offering readers featured articles on topics related to various aspects of well-being and healthy recipes. She also writes articles for the website nursetogether.com and hosts monthly calls on balance and self-care.
Elizabeth's first special report “Learning through Experience: An Inspirational Resource Booklet to Self-Care and Balance” was released to nurses all over the country in December 2011. She interviewed and compiled over two dozen nurses and holistic healers to create this supportive resource for nurses everywhere.
She has a Masters degree in nursing and business from Johns Hopkins University at Baltimore, MD and has over 6 years of experience in nursing, wellness, and teaching healthy behavior.
Elizabeth’s interest in self-care and balance began when she was a nurse working on an inpatient unit at a large teaching hospital. She realized she was not taking as good care of herself as she could be. She decided that she was through living her life in this unhealthy way and was going to do something about it. Not only did she want to improve her own well-being and balance, but she wanted to inspire and help nurses everywhere do the same.
Elizabeth is a known self-help and healing advocate - and happy to be! She owns dozens of self-improvement books and has been to numerous workshops. She does workshops and talks for nurses on various topics of self-care. She took her first Reiki training in April 2011 and is studying to be a Reiki Master in order to teach Reiki as a self-care modality to nurses.
She lives and works in Baltimore, MD with her husband and two dogs. Elizabeth enjoys music, reading, gardening, cooking, exercise, walking, Yoga, meditation, jigsaw puzzles, and travel to NY to visit with family.

Breathe New Energy into Your Career
In my work around healthy balance, I teach a process that helps you figure out which areas of your life that you spend a lot of time in AND discover aspects that are getting a little less attention. One of these steps in this seven step process asks you to examine which areas you are feeling pulled to, drawn to.

Laughter, Health, and Fun for Self
One thing that I love doing with family, especially with my sister, is laughing. I mean- belly clenching, tears rolling, sides hurting- laughter. She and I can just giggle and giggle for hours. In fact, we used to get “in trouble” for it when we were supposed to be in bed!

Weight Loss Leading to Weight Gain?
When you hear the phrase “create a healthy body for myself”, what do you immediately think of? Weight loss. You may begin to wonder, “What kinds of diets will I have to do? How much exercise is this going to take? I’ve tried to lose weight before… it feels like a roller coaster ride to me…”

Moving and Grooving: 4 Unique Ways to a Healthy Life
Let’s get moving and shaking! Now I’m well aware- you may have some quick objections to exercise. “I don’t have time for it. I hate the gym. I’m not athletic. I can’t stand to get sweaty.” I get it. I hear you. (I have some myself!) In fact, formal exercise may not be for everyone. But guess what? You need to get moving- in some shape, style or form. We all do.

Awareness: How can this help the nurse?
“The unaware life is not worth living” –Socrates. This month I aim to write to the theme “awareness”. What a task! “Awareness” in and of itself is often interchanged with numerous terms: consciousness, mindfulness, and/or presence. Even as I sat down today to write about what these terms mean, I realize there is so much to say… more so tha I can write in just this one article.

Nurses, Can Consciousness Be Linked to Health?
Let’s see if today we can describe and discuss the term “consciousness”. There is a plethora of information out there pertaining to this concept. These types of concepts are ones that I can write about- but ones that you must investigate further and experience on your own (if you are interested in them) as I can only share from my experience, as each of us lives from our own experience and observation.

Nurses, Bring Mindfulness to the Workplace
Jon Kabat-Zinn has been coined the founder of modern mindfulness. He actually has a center and program with which he shares this information as it relates to health and well-being. It is a dream of mine to go to Massachusetts and study in one of his programs. To me, mindfulness means being fully present in the moment. It means not worrying about the past or planning the future. It means being focused and concentrated in the here and now. Now, how wonderful would that be if as nurses we could work in that way all of the time?!

Words Create Our Health
What words are shaping your experiences? I was sitting at my desk around mid-day; my eyes feeling tired. I decided to walk away from the computer and get a drink of water. As I was standing at cooler filling up my jug, I overheard a shocking statement. A woman in another cubicle blurted out: “I’d estimate I have about 15 years left on this earth and that’s about it…” I hope my face didn’t show my surprise as I finished filling up my water bottle and walked away.

Career is linked to Overall Health
Health and career is related. Your level of job enjoyment impacts your overall well-being. Ever noticed how your body is linked to your profession? Have you ever paused to check in to see how you “feel” about your job? And when I say feel… I don’t mean what you think of your job. I mean how you feel. So let’s leave the ‘thoughts’ behind for a moment. When you call to mind your ‘work’ what happens in your body? What do you notice, sense, or feel? Do things tense up? Notice any aches or pains? Are you loose and relaxed?

Increase Focus Through Positive Affirmations
As I was driving home through the city today I was distracted by all of the commotion outside of my car. Tractor trailers were banging and clanging quickly past me. On the sidewalk, construction workers were shouting to one another, finishing up the day's work. Loud noise, such as radios and car horns, was invading my quiet space. My thoughts were scattered and I was having a hard time concentrating on one thing at a time. My mind was racing from topic to topic thinking of all the things I had to get accomplished. And then I realized; it all reminded me of a busy day at work!

Letting Go: Release Your Need to Control
I used to want to control everything. I wanted smooth work days, timely appointments, and conversations that ended with my opinions as outcomes. I would get frustrated with co-workers who didn't see things my way. I'd get angry when people were late or meetings delayed. I'd feel uncomfortable and unhappy when things didn't turn out as I had planned; especially at work.r

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Elizabeth Scala
I believe we need to care for the whole person: mind, body, and spirit. I feel that when we are taking care of our whole person we are better able to handle stress, perform at work, and take care of others. As a nurse and busy person, I advocate for healthy work-life balance, time-management, and taking care of the self first. I feel there are many, many parts that make up our whole well-being. Self-care is crucial for the Registered Nurse to be able to serve his/her patients best. Take care of you and you can take care of them!
