Mindfulness - KeepingWellNEL

As a health or social care professional, your emotional wellbeing is as important as the wellbeing of the people you care for.
We can get caught up in our thoughts without stopping to notice how those thoughts are driving our emotions and behaviour. Mindfulness helps you to be more aware of your thoughts and feeling. Mindfulness involves paying attention to what is going on inside and outside yourself, moment by moment. Paying attention to the sights, sounds, smells and tastes of the present moment.
