During a recent shift, what internal signals (thoughts, emotions, body sensations) were present while you were caring for patients, and how did they influence your interactions?

Think of a recent moment at work where you felt stress, irritation, or pressure. If you had paused to simply notice the feeling, without trying to fix it, how might that moment of awareness have influenced your response?

Before entering a recent patient encounter, what was happening in your internal environment? How might becoming aware of that internal state have influenced the tone, pacing, or quality of the interaction?

Recall a recent moment when you reacted quickly in a stressful interaction. What might have been different if you had paused briefly to create space between the stimulus and your response? 

During a recent high- stress shift, when did you notice yourself operating on autopilot? How might increased awareness in that moment have changed the interaction or outcome?

Describe a recent interaction in which you felt fully present. What was different about your level of awareness in that moment, and how did it influence the level of compassion you were able to offer?
