Mindfulness at Work
This article discusses the concept of mindfulness at work and its benefits. It emphasises the importance of being present in one's life instead of being on autopilot. Mindfulness can help lower anxiety and depression, improve concentration, and even reduce pain. Katelyn our resident well-being writer suggests incorporating mindful moments into a busy workday, such as through mini meditations or acceptance practices. Mini meditations involve focusing on the senses while drinking coffee or tea for a few minutes, while acceptance involves acknowledging and accepting emotions without judgment during stressful situations. The article concludes by stressing that mindfulness is a practice that requires consistent effort rather than perfection, and it can lead to a more productive and happier work life.
