Mindfulness doesn’t require a cushion or a quiet room. It requires a moment of intentional interruption.
STOP is the tool you can use anywhere — between patients, in the school pickup line, before a hard conversation.
The Tool: STOP (from MBSR)
• S — Stop what you’re doing
• T — Take a breath
• O — Observe: what are you thinking, feeling, sensing right now?
• P — Proceed with awareness
1–2 minutes, used 3x throughout the day
When did you use STOP today? What did you notice in the O step?
