Mindfulness
You are probably aware of the wide-ranging benefits of mindfulness and meditation for health professionals and teachers, and you may be keen to experience for yourself how these practices can help you reduce anxiety, improve wellbeing, promote self-care, and diminish troubling thoughts. Mindfulness is also an invaluable practice if you want to be less self-critical and more compassionate towards yourself.
If at all possible, I encourage you to learn this valuable practice by enrolling on an 8-week mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) course locally, or even better treat yourself to private classes. However, if you are unable to access a qualified teacher, fortunately there is growing evidence of the benefits of mindfulness apps and online resources.
