Mindfulness is the quality of being fully present and aware of what's happening in the moment. This experiential workshop introduces nurses to practices that cultivate mindfulness in daily living with the goal of practicing self-care in both personal and professional settings. Participants will gain insights into personal and general patterns of stress reactions and cultivate skills in responding to stressful situations with greater awareness to reduce the negative effects of stress reactivity. We will also explore ways of offering mindfulness to patients as a way of intervening in distress behaviors and crisis to cultivate resilience and promote healing.
