Getting called into the hospital on a rainy Sunday night wasn’t how I wanted to spend my evening, but it was a perfect opportunity to practice AIR. In this real-life reset, I ACKNOWLEDGE what I’m feeling, INTERRUPT the negative spiral, and REGULATE by focusing on gratitude, acceptance, and intention. AIR isn’t about pretending everything is fine. It’s about pausing long enough to choose how we want to arrive—for ourselves, our coworkers, and the people who need our care. Where could you pause and take some AIR today? A short introduction to the AIR practice is coming next.
