Hi everyone, my name is Sanja and I will be talking about the five ways to implement mindfulness while working. So implementing mindfulness during your working day can help you reduce stress, improve focus, and enhance your overall well-being. So here are the five ways that you can use to incorporate mindfulness into your working routine. The first one would be mindful breathing. So take short breaks throughout the day to focus on your breath. Close your eyes and take a few deep mindful breaths, paying attention to the sensation of the breath entering and leaving your body. Use mindful breathing to center yourself and bring your attention to the present moment, especially during stressful or challenging tasks. Second would be single tasking. We are all used to multitasking, but instead of that, try single tasking. Focus on one task at a time and give it to your full attention. When you're working on a task, be present and fully engaged with it. Also avoid the urge to check emails, social media, or other distractions simultaneously. The third way would be mindful lunch breaks. During your lunch break, eat mindfully. Pay attention to the flavors, textures, and smell of your food. Step away from your workspace, so go for a short walk or find a quiet place to sit and eat without any distractions. The fourth one would be mindful check-ins. Set aside specific times during your workday to check in with yourself and your mental state. Ask yourself how you're feeling and what's on your mind. This self-awareness can help you identify and manage stress and emotions, while allowing you to respond more effectively to work challenges. The fifth way would be mindful movement and stretching. Incorporate short mindful movements and stretching exercises into your day. This can help relieve physical tension and promote mental clarity. Take a few moments to stretch your body, focusing on each moment and cessation. This can be specifically and especially helpful if you have a sedentary job. So those short breaks during the day, let's say after 30 or 40 minutes of sitting, you can do a stretch. You can even do that on your chair while you're sitting. Also remember that mindfulness is a skill that you can develop over time. And it may take practice to fully integrate it into your daily routine. Start with small, manageable steps and gradually increase your mindfulness practice to create a more mindful and less stressing working day. They say to implement a new habit, we need between 21 and 40 days.
