NR 103 Transition to the Nursing Profession Week 4 Mindfulness Reflection Template

In this week’s video, you learned about strategies for being accountable for daily exercise. Which exercise method described could you adapt to your lifestyle, and how many times a week would you need to engage in this exercise to see positive benefits? Who might be your accountability partner, and who else might you inspire?

In this week’s mindfulness video, the discussion focuses on mindful movement, emphasizing exercises that increase awareness of your body and your patients’ bodies. Mindful movement allows you to understand what your body needs in terms of physical activity.

Which exercise method described could you adapt to your lifestyle?

I would incorporate the five-minute workout mentioned in the video into my daily routine. This workout requires no equipment and can be done anywhere, making it easy to fit into my schedule. It helps to keep you active throughout the day, boosts creativity, and reduces stress.

How many times a week would you need to engage in this exercise to experience positive benefits?

Typically, I engage in 30-minute workouts five days a week. I would continue this five-day schedule with less intense activities. At home, I usually run on the treadmill to improve my cardiovascular health and burn calories. I also incorporate squats and lunges, and I’ve recently started meditating after learning more about mindfulness.

Who might be your accountability partner, and who else might you inspire?

My accountability partner would be my sister, Marietta. She exercises six to seven days a week, consistently going to the gym before work and making post-workout smoothies. I hope to inspire my mother, who is over 50 and in good health. Regular exercise can help her maintain her health, fight off infections, recover from injuries quickly, and prevent chronic diseases like strokes and heart attacks.
