Hello everyone and happy Wellness Wednesday! This week, we will be talking about mindfulness and meditation. Mindfulness is the ability to be fully present and aware of one’s self and emotions. This can be incredibly difficult while managing work, family, friends, other responsibilities, etc., but mindfulness can be easily overlooked as an important skill.

In fact, studies suggest that mindfulness practices help people manage stress, reduce anxiety and depression, and relax. Many people who practice mindfulness report a greater enthusiasm for life and improved self-esteem. We challenge you all to take some time to be mindful each and every day.

Click the link in our bio for a 10 minute mindful meditation to get you started.

We are so excited for Sip and Shop next week! Next Thursday, November 17th Ava Rose Holiday Market will be hosting our annual L.I.F.E. Sip and Shop event. This is an amazing opportunity to shop for the holiday season for an excellent cause!

Please use the link in our bio to RSVP if you plan on coming, and spread the word!

Thank you to everyone who has made this happen! We are looking forward to seeing you there.

The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses

"I want to recognize Alicia Mackenzie for her continued dedication and service to our community and for her clinical gestalt that helped her to recognize a critical patient and the saving the patient’s life." Dr. Mara Windsor

Nurses like Alicia make an incredible difference in the lives of patients. Dr. Windsor was able to save a patients life thanks to the work of this nurse. Alicia is very deserving of this award and a special thank you from Dr. Windsor, LIFE, and all of those who rely on nurses for our well being.

Showing up as a community has given a family hope. Sweet Addison has felt the love of family and friends as she awaits a heart transplant. Addison's mother Tracy, is a physician's assistant and works with our own Dr. Windsor. Tracy has been by Addison's side without the ability to have visitors and is so very grateful for an outpouring of kind words, donations, and prayers. Join us in showing her she is not alone.

Addison was admitted to Phoenix Children's when she was not recovering from Covid-19 in early January. Addison had an echocardiogram which showed that the function of her heart is very low. She was given cardiac medications through her IV, but despite this, she has continued to decline. Her heart has weakened, and the ICU doctors have decided to intubate Addison and place her on cardiac ECMO. She is being evaluated for a heart transplant and will hopefully be approved to be on the transplant list early this week.
Tracey is staying with her and will need a lot of time off work to care for her. Let us come together and raise some money to help her out during this super difficult time. Any little bit helps, as well as prayers.

In this month's blog, LIFE addresses the burnout facing nurses. An alarming amount of nurses are leaving their profession, leaving a huge void in our healthcare system. Find out why this matters and what we are doing about it.

As LIFE (Living in Fulfilled Enlightenment) continues to grow our goals are big. They include medical school clubs, the first Revive Gala fundraiser, and instituting a scholarship for nursing students. If supporting healthcare workers is something you're passionate about, join us! We always need volunteers as well as sponsors for our fundraising events. And we love connecting with healthcare workers too - so reach out and tell us about what you're struggling with, or what you'd like to learn more about, we're here to help.

Dr. Mara Windsor

In her work as an Emergency Physician, Mara has experienced first hand the burnout that such a stressful job can bring. She created Living In Fulfilled Enlightenment to educate others on how self-care is the most important and valuable asset to maintain resiliency and wholeness in order to maintain optimal performance levels for patients, family, and community.

The work that she continues to do through L.I.F.E. serves as a personal mindfulness practice for her to live her best life and to practice and share what she learns during her personal wellness journey.

“Because true belonging only happens when we present our authentic, imperfect selves to the world, our sense of belonging can never be greater than our level of self-acceptance.” ― Brené Brown, researcher

When we are stressed at work, we often soothe our feelings with digital distractions. These digital distractions can add to the pressure of responsiveness or constantly being "on" and responding immediately to contacts.

When we avoid distraction as a coping mechanism, we can more clearly evaluate what is happening in our lives and how those things are making us feel. For more support with demotivation and burnout visit our website.

Praxis 30 day challenge

It is simple, if we give attention to something, we become attached. In our relationships, we can make commitments and focus time and effort on someone. When we do this overtime, we begin to develop feelings for the person who is the object of our attention.
Praxis teaches, that feelings will follow our actions.

The 30 day challenge invites you to choose a relationship or area in your life, then utilize praxis for 30 days. You may want to work on your relationship with your partner by going back to the romantic actions of when you were first together. For 30 days act as if you are in those blissful moments of new love. You may want to work on changing a negative relationship with a co-worker of neighbor. Treat that person in the way you would want a neighbor or co-worker to treat you, going out of your way to send out positive attention. Other ideas may include focusing on your body image or just general positivity in your life.

LIFE would love to hear the results after 30 days of intentional focus on your actions as a theory to guide your feelings. For more about praxis and other ways to find sustained happiness and fulfillment, visit our website (link in bio).
