What can we each do to nourish ourselves and others?

Balancing care: the secret to thriving in clinical professions Believe in yourself, trust in yourself. Find the good within and nurture it. The more you cultivate and express your inner strengths, the more you’ll find healing within yourself. This inner healing will radiate outward, enabling you to help others heal. First and foremost, you’ll feel better about yourself. This self-assuredness and compassion will naturally extend to others, reminding us all of our shared humanity. Don’t be harsh on yourself for being human. When challenges arise, learn from them. Embrace these experiences, discuss them with others, and share your journey. These interactions can be transformative, offering valuable insights that not only change you but can also inspire and help others. Learn from others’ experiences and mistakes as well. By engaging with others and sharing your journey, you’ll propel yourself forward much faster than if you were to isolate yourself. Interacting with others and utilizing the support around you is key. Remember, there are many good people out there who want to hear from you and be a part of your journey. Koshin Paley Ellison is a psychotherapist and author of Untangled: Walking the Eightfold Path to Clarity Courage and Compassion.

"Am I actually living according to my values?" Koshin Paley Ellison Sensei posed this question on the End of Life University podcast recently. He also discusses the Contemplative Medicine Fellowship and speaks of his own experience caring for his grandmother at the end of her life.

The New York Zen Center for Contemplative Care is doing incredible work in Zen meditation and contemplative care. Their dedication to end-of-life care and education is truly inspiring. I befriended the two monks, Koshin Paley Ellison and Robert Chodo Campbell that run the New York Zen Center, and I've really been learning a lot from them on the importance of mindfulness, meditation, and the art of Zen. It's incredible how powerful a few minutes of mindful meditation can be for personal growth and self-discovery.

A mantra I have been coming back to recently is “good for nothing”. There's no pressure, no disappointment, just the raw satisfaction of doing something for the sake of it. Engage in any practice just for the sake of that practice. It is good—not for something—but good in and of itself. New York Zen Center for Contemplative Care
