Activity Summary

Mindfulness should be a way to be and not a thing to do. This session engages the nurse in the discussion and learning of concepts of the Pause Principle and teaches small but effective mindful activities to use for building the personal and organizational resilience most needed during these turbulent times in healthcare. This session covers ways to incorporate a strategic pause and mindful moments into your practice—moments that can make a big difference in the lives of nurses, patients and organizations. Imagine what it would be like to be more mindful and to care for yourself, or what your organization could be like by embracing the Pause Principles. Think big, but start small. This is an invitation to be more mindful. Because it matters for the health of our nurses, patients and systems.
