Nursing is considered to be one of the most stressful professions, putting nurses at high risk for stress-related illness. Mindfulness and compassion - the practices of focusing awareness on the present moment, and relating kindly to ourselves and others - offer nurses powerful resources to cope with stress. These practices help cultivate presence and empathy in everyday life, improve awareness and attention, and boost compassion for oneself and others. With a new understanding of everyday mindfulness and compassion, nurses can overcome the myriad contemporary challenges inherent in the workplace--and in their own lives.
"Mindfulness is all the rage right now, and if you do not understand it and don't know what it can do for you and your personal and professional life, then this book will help. It guides you through the who, what, why, and how of the practice of mindfulness--all through the eyes of an author who relates it to nurses' everyday lives and tasks. Carmel shows how it can improve your own life and the care you give to patients. The turns of phrase and concepts supporting the practice of mindfulness are delicious--I most loved the idea that self-compassion was an "antiseptic" and "anti-inflammatory" for those moments when you beat yourself up or blame others when things go wrong. There are lots of practical elements to help you start practicing mindfulness, from the moment you pick up the book, to encourage you to make mindfulness a daily part of your life so that you can enjoy living more."
