Mindfulness and Meditation Practices
Published in Gia Merlo, Kathy Berra, Lifestyle Nursing, 2023
Practicing mindfulness improves attention, self-regulation, and quality of life for many practitioners. Mindfulness practice can also be focused on cultivating particular qualities, such as compassion and kindness. Mindfulness practice has three different components, according to psychologist and mindfulness educator Rick Hanson (2020): Let be, let go, let in. The first is learning to let be with current experiences. Notice the physical pain, or the negative thought just as it is, with kindness and curiosity. The second step, let go, requires recognizing that worries about pain or negative thoughts are unproductive so they should be let go. The third step, let in, cultivates more beneficial qualities, such as kindness and non-judgment (Hanson, 2018, pp. 32–34).
Regulation and Performance Improvement 1
Published in Rui Nunes, Healthcare as a Universal Human Right, 2022
Regulatory capture (in the sense of the regulator being influenced in its decisions by a third party) is frequently at stake because the control of a professional practice by one’s peers may lead to conflicts of interest. Further, the self-interest of the profession may preclude the effective judgment of deviant behavior. Healthcare organizations have weak internal structures of control. Further, professionals still have a great deal of influence in the promotion of a culture that resists managerialism. Nevertheless, self-regulation still plays a major role in enforcing the ethical and clinical standards of healthcare professionals and should be regarded as an integral part of the healthcare regulatory system.
Connection and empathy
Published in Antonella Sansone, Cultivating Mindfulness to Raise Children Who Thrive, 2020
Other studies indicate that enhancing students self-regulation skills through self-care and communication approaches during their training may improve their personal and relational health. The practice of mindfulness has helped practitioners take different perspectives, improve self-regulation and be more open to cooperation, listening and attunement (Siegel, 2007). It changes the belief system and thus perceptual and behavioural patterns (Lipton, 2015). It transforms the way in which we perceive ourselves and the way we treat patients/clients. It is important that we experience mindfulness personally – from the inside – before we learn to pass the skills on to our expectant, birthing clients.
Mindfulness is Associated with Better Sleep Quality in Young Adults by Reducing Boredom and Bedtime Procrastination

Like self-regulation strategies and self-compassion, practicing mindfulness is a self-regulation process. Being mindful decenters our mind-set by observing our internal experiences from a third-person perspective (Bernstein et al., 2015). In the context of boredom, mindfulness brings our mindful attention to the experience of boredom (Galla et al., 2020). The decentered mind-set of mindfulness practice helps us take a distance from boredom, instead of getting carried away by the thoughts and feelings of boredom (Waterschoot et al., 2021). Taking a distance from boredom improves our decision making in terms of the ways to deal with boredom, such as being less likely to be driven by appetitive stimuli (Papies et al., 2015) that will delay bedtime and focusing on the thoughts rather than the feelings of boredom (Galles et al., 2019). As such, for individuals who procrastinate bedtime due to boredom, practicing mindfulness might be a helpful way to deal with bedtime procrastination.

Medical rehabilitation aims to optimize self-regulation as one of the core outcomes for patients [27]. Knowledge and skills are necessary to ensure the active application of self-regulation [15]. If applicable, these requirements or skills should be addressed as part of rehabilitation after the onset of disability. The themes identified in this study can be used to encourage rehabilitation health care workers to pay specific attention to self-regulation. Specifically, the first theme of creating insights can be translated into practice by rehabilitation health care workers sharing their knowledge about the condition and impairments with patients. Also, helping patients experience their possibilities as well as their restrictions in daily life by, for example, practicing daily activities together. The second theme is focused on communication and regaining trust in one’s self. This can be implemented in rehabilitation care by asking patients to practise communicating, for example by letting them explain their condition or impairments or by writing a letter about them. Lastly, to help patients regain trust in themselves, it is important to set realistic goals. Professionals can help set these goals, provide positive feedback and celebrate successes when goals are achieved. In general, the three themes can provide guidance in goal-setting, as these can function as a basis for defining rehabilitation goals.
An exploration of physical activity experiences throughout the Huntington’s disease journey: supporting development of theoretically underpinned complex interventions

Amongst the few studies that explore lived experience of HD, Levanthal’s self-regulation model and illness perceptions (a component of the self-regulation model) have been used [18–20]. The self-regulation model depicts self-regulation as a processing system where individuals move through stages of information from when a health threat is received, representations of the threat are formed, acted upon (problem solving, goal planning, action plan), evaluated and then perceptions are integrated into memory. Vital components of the self-regulation model are illness representations, namely “cause,” “control,” “identity,” “timeline” and “consequences.” These representations develop from different sources of information, including an individual’s personal experience of the illness, illness-related beliefs, and the social and cultural context. Information about illness is gained through public media; the news, social media, through face-to-face communication with family, friends and health care professionals. The illness representations of timeline and identity are particularly pertinent considering issues surrounding identity and changes with progression of HD, and the concept of coping has been elicited as a major part of life with HD [15,21,22]. The self-regulation model [20] has helped in furthering understanding experiences related to psychosocial and physical consequences of HD [18,19,21–23] and could provide further understanding of physical activity experiences in HD and underpin tailored physical activity interventions.
