At Fresh Clinics, we encourage our community to take time out and invest in themselves. We all lead busy, fast-paced lives and we often get so swept up in everyday tasks and responsibilities, leaving us little or no time to slow down, breathe, and focus on our wellness.
We were recently joined by Courtney, an esteemed meditation and wellness coach, for an in-depth breath work session, and to shed light on the importance of self-care, mindfulness, and meditation.
Courtney kicked off the empowering evening by extending the paramount message of self-care: "I intend that you'll leave feeling like your cup is full and also that you have the tools to help you fill up your cup throughout the busy periods of life." From this invigorating start, she had a simple goal – to make the session a day spa for the mind and nervous system.
One of the highlights of Courtney’s webinar was the introduction of mindfulness resets encompassing daily, monthly, and yearly actions. These resets are flexible and designed to fit seamlessly into our daily routines. Whether it’s taking a five-minute break to breathe mindfully during the day, indulging in a long, restorative bath once a month, or planning a stress-free, work-free holiday once a year, these resets are about making self-care a regular part of our lives.
The breath work session with Courtney took our Members through a deeply calming meditation process, which many found both eye-opening and transformative. "My whole body was tense, and I didn't realise. I am going to take more time to reflect to support and regulate my nervous system." - Fresh Clinics Member.
This emphasis on self-care isn't solely Courtney’s mission though; at Fresh Clinics, we resonate with the same sentiments. We understand that our community is filled with incredible Nurses juggling businesses, families, and responsibilities. That's why we believe it’s important that we encourage our Members and staff to prioritise self-care and regularly indulge in small acts of mindfulness to support not only success but well-being. We even have a designated wellness area every year at our Fresh Life conference.
Self-care and mindfulness aren't just "nice to have" - they're vital components of a balanced, fulfilling life. So, let's not forget to pause, breathe, and take it all in. After all, our well-being isn't a race, but a lifelong journey. Let's keep our cups filled together - one mindful moment at a time.
