  • Résumé

  • Hey there, welcome to Mindful at Work. I'm glad you've carved out this moment just for yourself today.

    I know mornings can feel overwhelming - emails flooding in, back-to-back meetings, that constant pressure to be productive. Right now, wherever you are - whether you're at your desk, in your home office, or finding a quiet corner - take a deep breath and give yourself permission to pause.

    Let's start by settling into your body. Feel your feet connected to the ground, your spine gently elongating, shoulders softening. Take a slow, deliberate breath in through your nose, letting your chest and belly expand, then release it slowly through your mouth.

    Today, we're exploring what I call the "anchoring technique" - a powerful way to reclaim focus in a world of constant distraction. Imagine your attention is like water, constantly flowing and shifting. Your breath is the solid riverbank that can guide and stabilize that flow.

    As you continue breathing, notice thoughts drifting through your mind like clouds. You don't need to chase them or push them away. Simply observe them, then gently return your awareness to your breath. Each time you do this, you're training your brain's ability to stay present.

    Think of this practice like tuning an instrument. Your mind is the instrument, and your breath is the tuning fork. When you get pulled into worry about deadlines or future tasks, just take three intentional breaths. Breathe in possibility, breathe out tension.

    This isn't about achieving perfect focus, but practicing gentle redirection. Every time you notice your mind wandering and bring it back, you're building mental resilience. You're teaching yourself that you have choice in where you place your attention.

    As we finish, take one more deep breath. Set an intention to carry this sense of groundedness into your workday. Maybe that looks like taking mindful pauses between tasks, or approaching challenges with curiosity instead of stress.

    Thank you for listening to Mindful at Work. If this resonated with you, please subscribe and share with someone who might need a moment of calm. Until next time, breathe easy.
