Mindful Moments That Don't Require Extra Time

As a healthcare professional, your days are non-stop. You might find yourself on autopilot through the day or often looking into the future towards what needs to be done next.

Informal mindfulness exercises can be used to reach a mindful mindset more often throughout your day. You don't need to carve out time in your day to practice—they can be done while you're doing ordinary tasks like brushing your teeth.

By practising informal mindfulness, your ability to pull focus and stay present will improve, while your experiences of detachment, anxiety and stress will decrease. In this article we have a variety of exercises you can use to find a mindful state in your busy days.
