Module 3 Homework
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. |
