Do the simple things differently “It’s a paradox: if you don’t have enough time to care, slow down, stop rushing, and pay more attention. Caring doesn’t take any time at all, it happens in magical moments. It turns out that investing a little time upfront, in the care of patients, is one of the magical ways of making more time to care.”

Kindness Bring your “whole person” to work Walk the TALK (Tiny Acts of Loving Kindness) “Simple habit lifts your mood and enhances your enjoyment at work each day.”

Be “Present” Make a human connection Being vulnerable – “Shed the armour” “For our patients, illness and injury often hit like a landslide. Our caring touch might be the only thing that gives hope and comfort.”

Empathy – an affective experience and a physiologic state “The practices that strengthen the heart, that allow us to maintain compassion in the face of distress, are the daily practices of kindness, gratitude, appreciation and mindfulness.”
