Mindfulness @ Work

7  #ps  to  stay  focus  and  increase  your  produc#vity  

Do you ever feel that your brain needs a

grease and oil change to keep it from overheating or

exploding?

Sadly, the local servo doesn’t offer this type of service BUT practicing

Mindfulness DOES.

So sit back, breathe and enjoy.

#1    

Instead of jumping right out of bed into your routine, take a few minutes to notice how you feel and consciously set your intentions for the day.

#2    

Multitasking is the enemy of focus – it can often leave us more frazzled than accomplished. Concentrate on ONE thing at a time, finish it, take a break, then move on to the next task.

Forget  Mul#-­‐tasking  and  prac#ce  Uni-­‐tasking  

#3    

You are not super-human so stop thinking you can fix everything. As they say, put on your oxygen mask before you help others. Reschedule or learn to say NO.

#4  Set a time for every hour, STOP what you are doing and pause.

Stand up, stretch your body, take in a deep breath, slowing, deeply and let out any tensions when you breath out.

This makes your brain slow down and reduces stress and anxiety.

Create your own quite space. GO OUTSIDE to collect your thoughts, breath in the air, take in the beauty of nature and enjoy the space of ‘nothing’.

#6    

Every  now  and  then,  STOP  and  use  your  senses  to  be  present  with  the  moment  –  see  what  you  see,  feel  what  you  feel,  hear  what  you  hear.

At the end of your workday, pause and reflect on your day. Just notice without judgement.

#7    

We  can  oKen  feel  overwhelmed,  overworked,  irritated  with  pressures    and  never  seem  to  catch  up  on  our  sleep.  

The  prac#ce  of  Mindfulness  can  help  with  these  issues.  The  benefits  of  mindfulness  are  many  –  relieves  symptoms  of  depression,    allevia#on  of  pain,  rela#onship  issues,  help  with  sleep  problems,  ea#ng  disorders,  anxiety  and  overall  stress  management.  

Why  do  we  need  Mindfulness  @  Work?  

The  “magic”  of  mindfulness  is  that  it  rearranges  neural  networks.    CuTng  edge  science  con#nues  to  prove  this  in  powerful  ways.      And  the  truly  exci#ng  news  is  that  power  comes  from  us.  We  can  use  the  prac#ce  of  Mindfulness  to  change  our  behaviours  and  the  way  we  ‘react’  to  the  world.
