  • Résumé

  • Hey there, and welcome to Mindful at Work. I'm so glad you've carved out this moment for yourself today. I know the landscape of work can feel overwhelming right now - with constant digital interruptions, back-to-back meetings, and that persistent pressure to do more, faster.

    Let's take a breath together and create a small sanctuary of calm right where you are. Whether you're at a desk, in a coffee shop, or catching a moment between tasks, this practice is about bringing intentional awareness to your work experience.

    Start by settling into your body. Feel your feet connected to the ground, your spine gently elongated. Take a slow, deliberate breath in through your nose, letting your chest and belly expand. And then release that breath, letting tension naturally drain away.

    Imagine your attention is like a highly skilled worker - precise, nimble, able to focus exactly where it's needed. Today, we're going to practice redirecting this attention with compassion and clarity. Each time your mind wanders - and it will, and that's completely okay - you'll gently guide it back, just like you'd lovingly redirect a team member who's gotten off track.

    Picture your thoughts as clouds drifting across a vast sky. They move, they change, but the sky remains vast and untroubled. When a thought about a deadline or a challenging project appears, simply acknowledge it. "Hello, worry. I see you." Then return to your breath, to this moment.

    Your breath is an anchor. A steady, reliable colleague that's always with you. Breathe in for a count of four: one, two, three, four. Hold for a moment. Then exhale for four: four, three, two, one.

    Notice how this simple practice creates space. Space between stimulus and response. Space to choose how you want to engage with your work, rather than being pulled along by its current.

    As we complete this practice, set a gentle intention. Maybe it's to approach your next task with full presence. Or to pause and take three conscious breaths before responding to a challenging email.

    Thank you for showing up for yourself today. If this practice resonated with you, please subscribe and share Mindful at Work with someone who might need it. Until next time, breathe, be kind to yourself, and stay present.
