Editors' Choice

As its name suggests, Insight Timer started as a simple timer app for meditating. But it's evolved into a comprehensive (and award-winning) way to help people reduce anxiety, improve their sleep, and maybe even gain a little insight along the way. It features thousands of guided meditations across a range of styles: Buddhist mindfulness (which channels your inner monk), Kundalini yoga (which focuses on your posture), walking meditation (which is meditation on the move), and many others. Lessons range from just a few minutes to long and luxurious.

Reliable and helpful for all ages

Our family has loved Insight Timer for years now. Nearly every update has been an improvement on an already great app. We use it when putting our little ones to bed at night (and we're too exhausted to tell them a story or sing to them ourselves). My 8-yo particularly loves Cori Cochiolo, especially her Heidi, Cherry, and Vaya series. Our kids often turn it on when they go to sleepovers, especially if they're having trouble falling asleep. Their friends usually start using it, too.

Personally, I've used it for myriad things.... It's a fantastic support / encouragement for staying consistent with my meditation practice. It helps me fall asleep, whether that be music, stories, or guided meditations. It helps me go back to sleep. Sometimes I've participated in their courses and challenges (I'd like to do more of them). I've reconnected with some of my favorite Kripalu teachers from years past, who are active on this site. I've even found super helpful sessions that help me wake up in the mornings with a positive mindset (even before coffee!!).

I could not recommend this app more highly. The options are endless, and you can financially support the content creators as/when you're able...so you can use it regardless of your financial state. I view it as having a personal meditation "trainer" come to my home a few times a day, for support and guidance. For me, that's priceless.

What a resource!!

I initially downloaded this app for the timer - a nice variety of authentic sounding bowls, blocks, and chimes. Fast forward four years and I'm continually blown away by the incredible amount and quality of the guided meditation content now available here! All for free!! With new recordings arriving each day, there's everything from basic breath work and mindfulness practices, to creative visualization and hypnotherapy, Yoga Nidra, meditations on specific topics (I've noticed everything from improving your ball game to having a healthy pregnancy!), children's meditations, meditations in a variety of foreign languages, music, and spiritual talks. While most of the offerings seem to be pretty secular, there are some which might appeal more specifically to people with backgrounds in Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and probably other religions as well. There's everything from world renown spiritual leaders to up and coming teachers from around the world. I've found some real gems here and have bookmarked many more than I'll probably ever get to as I keep coming back to some favorites. I haven't gotten into the social aspect of this app, but that is also there for people who want that. I do enjoy seeing the charts of my practice over time and feel more centered and able to cope with life as I enjoy realizing the personal goals I've set. Thank you!!

SUPPORTING WELL-BEING AND BUILDING A CULTURE OF GRATITUDE IN NURSING

As members of one of the largest and most trusted health care professions, nurses like you serve a critical role in supporting the health of our nation. Yet your very role as caregivers and healers often places you in highly stressful situations. More than two-thirds of you report putting the health, safety, and wellness of your patients ahead of your own.

To support you in caring for your own health and well-being, the American Nurses Foundation and the Greater Good Science Center at the University of California, Berkeley, have joined forces to create Gratitude Practice for Nurses. This campaign draws on decades of research showing that practicing gratitude is good for our bodies, our minds, and our relationships-and is a valuable tool to respond to the stresses faced by nurses and other health professionals. We want to help you cultivate more gratitude in your life and in your workday so that you can experience its benefits-and build a culture of gratitude and appreciation among your colleagues.

Follow these steps to bring the benefits of gratitude into your life and work.

What makes practicing gratitude so helpful to our health and well-being? How can practicing gratitude benefit nurses in their daily lives? What are some ways they can weave gratitude into their work? Check out the resources below--we'll be adding more in the months ahead.

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity. ... It turns problems into gifts, failures into success, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events."

Melodie Beatty, best-selling author

About This Initiative

The Gratitude Practice for Nurses initiative is a joint effort of the American Nurses Foundation and the Greater Good Science Center at the University of California, Berkeley, aimed at cultivating the practice of gratitude within the nursing profession. Decades of research have shown that practicing gratitude is highly effective in promoting physical and psychological health, both at the individual and organizational levels. Our hope through this initiative is that nurses and other health care providers will gain a deeper understanding of the value of practicing gratitude and find the tools and resources to nurture that practice in their own lives and in the settings in which they work.

American Nurses Foundation

The American Nurses Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the American Nurses Association, is committed to our vision of achieving 'a healthy world through the power of nursing.' In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Foundation and our partners created the Well-Being Initiative to support the emotional and mental health and well-being of nurses today and into the future.

Learn more about our Well-Being Initiative which offers additional tools and resources to support your emotional and mental well-being.

To connect with nurses across the country dedicated to transforming their health, join Healthy Nurse, Healthy Nation, a social movement of nurses supporting physical activity, nutrition, rest, quality of life, and safety.

Greater Good Science Center

The Greater Good Science Center (GGSC) at the University of California, Berkeley, studies the psychology, sociology, and neuroscience of well-being, and teaches skills that foster a thriving, resilient, and compassionate society. The Center is unique in its commitment to both science and practice: It translates cutting-edge research on "the science of a meaningful life" into actionable resources for personal and professional well-being.

And it has been without peer in disseminating this research to the public, especially to educators, parents, and health professionals.

To learn more about the GGSC's work on gratitude and explore other topics, visit its award-winning online magazine, Greater Good.

Feedback

We welcome your questions, comments, and feedback about the Gratitude Practice for Nurses initiative.

For questions about the Toolkit and other resources tied to this initiative, please email the Greater Good Science Center at greater@berkeley.edu.

For questions about the Well-Being Initiative and other tools and resources to support nurses, please email the American Nurses Foundation at wellbeing@ana.org.

Special Thanks

We are especially grateful for the support of the Gratitude Practice for Nurses Advisory Group whose members include nurses and nurse managers from a variety of health care organizations and settings across the country. The Advisory Group's insights and direct experience in the nursing field were immensely helpful to the design and development of the Gratitude Practice for Nurses initiative.

The Science of Happiness at Work is a three-course professional certificate series that teaches you the what, why, and how of increasing happiness at work, enabling you to boost engagement, teamwork, and productivity in your organization.

Register now to experience the Science of Happiness at Work for yourself!

People who are happier at work are more committed to their organization, rise to positions of leadership more rapidly, are more productive and creative, and suffer fewer health problems. More and more, research is suggesting that happiness should not be an afterthought for workplaces; it should be an essential goal, entwined with the kinds of 21st century skills that are key to individual and organizational success today. But how can you increase happiness at work within yourself and across your organization?

In the Science of Happiness at Work Professional Certificate program, you will learn the hallmarks and benefits of a happy workplace, and you’ll come away with concrete, research-based strategies you can implement—individually or in teams—to boost your own emotional well-being, support the well-being of colleagues and employees, and foster a workplace culture of happiness. All lessons in the program are based on the most up-to-date scientific research, particularly from the fields of psychology, business, and neuroscience.

Over its three courses, the program will explain why happiness matters for your workplace; offer specific practices for fostering positive emotions like gratitude; help you build resilience to stress, particularly through the practice of mindfulness; and teach the importance of positive, trusting, collaborative relationships at work, drawing on the skills of empathy and emotional intelligence. Woven throughout the courses will be special tips for workplace leaders, helping them understand how to build a positive organizational culture through socially intelligent leadership.

The program will be taught by expert faculty from UC Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center (GGSC), a leading authority on the science of happiness. They will build on insights from the GGSC’s original online course, The Science of Happiness, the global phenomenon that has brought this science to more than half a million students worldwide. This new program will zero in on the particular challenges—and opportunities—in bringing a greater sense of happiness and meaning to your life at work. Insights from leading scientific studies will be distilled into actionable lessons, and they will be brought to life by real-world case studies.

In completing this program, you’ll not only be better equipped to identify the level of happiness within your organization and help colleagues understand why happiness is a worthwhile goal. You’ll also be equipped to support engagement and productivity within your organization and strengthen your sense of belonging, purpose, meaning, and satisfaction—not only at the office but in your life as a whole.

Nearly every update has been an improvement on an already great app. We use it when putting our little ones to bed at night (and we're too exhausted to tell them a story or sing to them ourselves). My 8-yo particularly loves Cori Cochiolo, especially her Heidi, Cherry, and Vaya series. Our kids often turn it on when they go to sleepovers, especially if they're having trouble falling asleep. Their friends usually start using it, too.

Personally, I've used it for myriad things.... It's a fantastic support / encouragement for staying consistent with my meditation practice. It helps me fall asleep, whether that be music, stories, or guided meditations. It helps me go back to sleep. Sometimes I've participated in their courses and challenges (I'd like to do more of them). I've reconnected with some of my favorite Kripalu teachers from years past, who are active on this site. I've even found super helpful sessions that help me wake up in the mornings with a positive mindset (even before coffee!!).

I could not recommend this app more highly. The options are endless, and you can financially support the content creators as/when you're able...so you can use it regardless of your financial state. I view it as having a personal meditation "trainer" come to my home a few times a day, for support and guidance. For me, that's priceless.

What a resource!!

I initially downloaded this app for the timer - a nice variety of authentic sounding bowls, blocks, and chimes. Fast forward four years and I'm continually blown away by the incredible amount and quality of the guided meditation content now available here! All for free!! With new recordings arriving each day, there's everything from basic breath work and mindfulness practices, to creative visualization and hypnotherapy, Yoga Nidra, meditations on specific topics (I've noticed everything from improving your ball game to having a healthy pregnancy!), children's meditations, meditations in a variety of foreign languages, music, and spiritual talks. While most of the offerings seem to be pretty secular, there are some which might appeal more specifically to people with backgrounds in Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and probably other religions as well. There's everything from world renown spiritual leaders to up and coming teachers from around the world. I've found some real gems here and have bookmarked many more than I'll probably ever get to as I keep coming back to some favorites. I haven't gotten into the social aspect of this app, but that is also there for people who want that. I do enjoy seeing the charts of my practice over time and feel more centered and able to cope with life as I enjoy realizing the personal goals I've set. Thank you!!
