  • Résumé

  • Hey there, welcome to Mindful at Work. I'm so glad you've carved out this moment for yourself today. Right now, in this busy spring of 2025, I know you're navigating a world that never seems to slow down. Maybe you're feeling that familiar tension between your ambitions and the overwhelming flood of tasks, emails, and expectations.

    Take a deep breath with me. Let's create a small sanctuary of calm right where you are.

    Close your eyes if you feel comfortable. Notice how your body is supported - by your chair, by the ground beneath you. Feel the subtle rhythm of your breathing, like gentle waves moving through your body. No need to change anything, just observe.

    Today, I want to introduce you to what I call the "Anchor Practice" - a powerful technique for reclaiming focus in moments of scattered energy. Imagine your attention is like a curious bird that constantly wants to dart from branch to branch. Your breath is the steady tree trunk, always present, always grounding.

    As thoughts arise - and they will - imagine them as clouds passing through a vast sky. You're not trying to stop the clouds, just noticing them without getting pulled into their story. Each time you notice your mind wandering, gently guide your attention back to the sensation of breathing. It's like training a puppy - patient, kind, consistent.

    Feel the air moving in through your nostrils, cooling and fresh. Feel it expanding your chest, then releasing softly. With each breath, you're resetting your nervous system. You're choosing presence over productivity panic.

    When you return to your work, carry this sense of spacious awareness with you. Before starting a task, take three intentional breaths. When you feel overwhelm rising, pause and reconnect with this simple anchor.

    Thank you for practicing with me today. If this resonated, please subscribe and share Mindful at Work with someone who might need a moment of calm. Your presence matters, your focus is a gift, and you are so much more than your to-do list.

    Until next time, breathe easy.
