“Turn off the music, eyes over here, it’s time for the time-out!”
This happens every day in the operating room, at the start of every case.
It’s a mandated checklist read out loud to the team of surgeons, nurses, techs and anesthesiologists.
We make sure to have the right patient, the right procedure and that possible complicating issues are addressed.
It is a moment to stop and reflect on our purpose for being there in that cold, bright room.
Regular reflection works in the same way by checking in with your inner compass.
Without taking moments to pause and reflect, you risk moving through life on autopilot. You drift further from what truly matters until one day, you may look up and wonder how you got here.
I’ll walk you through why you get off track, the consequences of not checking in, and how to use simple reflection techniques to realign with what matters most.
