have read many books along my schooling career but none that have helped my quite this much in my personal life.

10-minute mindfulness: 71 Simple Habits for Living in the Present Moment
We had two choices of books, and I chose to read 10-Minute Mindfulness: 71 Simple
Habits for Living in the Present Moment by S. J. Scott and Barrie Davenport. I chose this book because it seemed fitting for my life.

Everyday life and Practice Application
I will be using what I have learned from this book in my everyday life and also in my practice as a registered nurse. I am slowly being more self-aware and more mindful of the little moments in my life.

When I incorporate mindfulness in my practice, I plan on teaching my patients on how to focus on their healing. According to Scott and Davenport, “Negative thoughts and judgements can exacerbate pain.”(2017) Since I work in surgery, it will be beneficial for me to teach my patients and their families this in my pre-op education. I am very satisfied with my choice of book and I think my life as well as my family’s and patients’ will be improved
