Can Difficult Thoughts and Emotions Serve You as a Nurse?
The transformation of our mind begins when we start to take a look at its nature, its habits and patterns, from a non-judgmental place; when we are able to just be with whatever thoughts are arising in our mind, whatever sensations are arising in our bodies, without creating stories around them, without elaborating on them, without the ongoing process of fabricating an anxious and ongoing stream of thought.
Again, we need to re-view what our perceptions of ourselves are; are we our thoughts? Our emotions? Are we our educational degree, designation, or profession? Or are we much more? (we are much more…and much less!)
How we are when we show up at the bedside depends upon our ability to be with whatever is arising at the moment, and to not be distracted from our patients. Actually, that’s why I wrote the book, Minding the Bedside; my idea was to share with you the ways that I’ve learned to show up at the bedside by using meditative awareness, mindfulness and compassion.
The following exercise will help you to begin to work with your mind and with the thoughts that arise within it. Also, please have a look at similar posts for more information and discussions around working with the mind and its thoughts.
