Loving
kindness and meditation I feel are most beneficial in life. Both of
these practices can be implemented into our lives by participating in
them daily. I've used the practice of meditation before a big
meeting, to help calm the nerves and help me relax. Since starting
this course I've used the loving kindness audio after a long and
stressful day at work. Momentarily it gives me the inner peace I
need and the ability to go back and tackle the challenging tasks I
have yet to accomplish. These practices bring us back to a state in
which our lives are simple and bring us back to a peaceful state in
life. Working in healthcare is a true test to how strong you are
mentally and what a positive role model you are for your patients. I
feel these practices help us help ourselves so we can go out and help
others.

I just had a great discussion regarding inner calm and using meditation in short or visualization exercises before an important meeting or in my case interview. I had a very important interview for a job that I needed to get. I thought it went well but had a weird vibe afterwards. One of the interviewers met me by the elevator afterwards, I have known this woman for approx 2 years now, she remarked on how I did not seem scared or apprehensive, that I wa sin a way "overly confidant". I agreed that I was confidant, and honestly did not harbor any feelings of being scared or worried, it was an interview, what was the worst that coudl have happeened, I bombed it? The person I was in with was simply a human being, just as I am. I expect professionalism and respect from her just as I respect her, in essence she is a peer. We all have different expertise and things to offer the work environment, I meditated long and hard to reach this point in my life, meditation offers perspective and balance, when we are centered and calm our true nature is able to be revealed and we are much more productive and effective.

Hey Christine:
ReplyDeleteIt’s a real shame that people aren’t as knowledgeable as they think they are. So many of the folks we work with are uptight, upset, and they soon come undone. I’ve often wondered why confidence and calmness are not appreciated. Why does everybody think fear is so good for you? Fear serves a purpose, but it shouldn’t be a constant in your life. Stay strong and confident. It’s the world that need to catch up with you.
