Study: Meditation practice, both formal and informal, helps develop equanimity over time
This study suggests that even for those new to the practice of mindfulness, they can experience short-term increases in emotional stability with a body scan.
Cultivating this state could possibly help us cope with the current chaos we are living through, at least a little bit better. The connection between meditation and equanimity may be a solace for those looking to find peace with the unknown. If you are able to go about your life with a more even-minded state of mind, you’ll be in better shape to take care of yourself and others.

How To Get The Most Out Of Virtual Learning
By Emily Reynolds
When the coronavirus hit, many of us had to quickly adapt to remote working — and even post-pandemic, many of us are likely to continue at least some of these tasks online.
Demands for more flexible working practices continue to grow, and for good reason — it can make life easier for employees with parenting or caring responsibilities, health problems or disabilities, and some argue it can also increase productivity. Online webinars and conferences also allow continued professional development without workers ever having to leave their home office.
Things are no different in the world of education:...

REACH2: Six tips to help regulate stress levels in our organizations
Recently, an employee at a major Ohio company lost his mother to coronavirus. Under normal circumstances, his colleagues would have offered expressions of support and sympathy in person. They would have attended a funeral or memorial service. They would have made a meal for his family. But, since the state was under stay-at-home orders, none of that was possible.
At first, the team looked to their manager for guidance about what to do. But the manager hadn’t faced a situation like this and didn’t really know. So, he reflected the question back to his team: “What do you think we can do to help?”
The team suggested a...

A new “Scholarship that cites my work” section of my annual review
I usually start drafting my annual performance review report in the spring, in anticipation of finishing it before the start of the next fiscal year (June 1 start). Now that I have attained Librarian status, which is the highest promotion level at my institution, I can begin to reflect not just on what was accomplished during the year, but what impact my scholarship has had on the profession. An easy way to think about that is to look at the numbers of citations to publications over the years. My Google Scholar profile shows the articles and books I’ve written/co-authored and the number of times they’ve been ci...

Mindset is Everything in Your Nursing Career and Beyond
In my work as a holistic career coach for nurses, there ' s one thing I ' ve noticed more than anything else: mindset matters to your nursing and healthcare career. From putting together a resume and writing a cover letter to sitting for an interview or reaching out to potential connections on LinkedIn, your mindset and its attendant attitude make all the difference. Photo by Olivier Rule on Unsplash.comI ' ve worked with hundreds of nurse clients over the last decade, and I ' ve seen everything from utter defeatism to those whose optimism and drive are quite something to behold despite tough odds, personal struggles,...
