1. Finding the Pause:

To help you become more mindful at work, identify two or more times during the day you can pause to take a quiet, deep breath and slowly exhale. This should be at a time that naturally takes place during the day (examples: answering the phone, waiting for the copier, greeting a patient, pouring a cup of coffee).  After you decide when and where this will take place, write it down on a post-it note, and the word “Breathe” (to prompt you to pause, take a centering breath) before you act.

For example:   Phone -> Breathe -> Answer.

Post this and note somewhere, as a reminder.  Try doing this a couple of times during the week. Share with your learning partner your experience with this technique and any observations you made.
