My name is Emily. We're at Eisenhower Medical center, and I am a nurse. I'm a registered nurse here in the new grad program. So we saw Dr. Kalm today, came and talked to all of our new grad cohort.
And when you throw out all that and come back to this moment, stay here, everything else stops. You're just here. And then you access your innate health, your peace and joy that is within you.
Focus on that kind of led us through a relaxation exercise, a meditation exercise. He actually did a presentation. We told us to shut our eyes, to focus on our breathing, and let's.
Close our eyes, all of us, and I'm going to take you through this relaxation exercise for five minutes, and then you will feel what I mean.
But today, since he was here and kind of guided us through it, it made me get past that point, and I really got to see how effective it was. You know, stress is caused by our thoughts, and, you know, a lot things could be external, but do not move.
Just stay there. And as you are relaxing your body slowly and steadily, you will notice your breathing also slowing down.
I work night shifts, so I'm really. My schedule's off. I'm really tired. I was super tired before the whole exercise. After, I feel like I just took a little nap. How you internalize it is how you handle your stress or what you make of it, and that made a lot of sense.
