Here's how you can enhance your career decisions with mindfulness.

Pause for the moment and take a breath before making any decision in haste. Additionally, I personally like to "dance it out" in order to get me into a proper "state" to make important decisions, whether professionally or personally.

Never make an important career decision in a haste. Using mindfulness by settling in the present moment, letting go of judgment and examining the options with curiosity brings clarity, calm and awareness. In a state of mindfulness we are better able to focus on what matters, avoid poor choices, create resilience and insight, ultimately making better decisions. Decisions made under mindfulness are also more likely to promote buy out and support from others.

Participating in mindfulness practices and learning to weave them into my daily life has been one of the most transformative decisions I’ve ever made. It allows you to really be the observer of yourself - offering greater clarity, making it easier to make sound choices—especially when it comes to your career and life’s purpose.

Progressing in career is a need as well wish for every individual. Using mindfulness as second nature gives you kick start and keeps you ahead of the game. Ensuring you current actions are taking you towards growth and is algined with department and organization goal. Pressure be it work or external knowing what and how to to do things on right time helps.

I’m asked often what exactly is Mindfulness? With over 40 years of experience, study, and mentoring clients in mindfulness, here’s my brief description of what it is - a practice of being fully present and aware of the current moment—our thoughts, feelings, and surroundings—without judgment. By focusing on the present, we can cultivate calm, reduce stress, and respond to challenges with greater clarity. Whether through meditation or simply paying attention to our breath, mindfulness helps us break free from distractions, allowing us to live with more intention. It’s not about emptying the mind, but becoming aware of our thoughts without getting caught up in them. A simple practice, yet profoundly transformative.

Combining mindfulness techniques with proper goal setting techniques like SMARTER, Starfish or CLEAR goals techniques can enhance the entire experience and make the goal setting more effective.

Having clearly defined goal is one thing, making sure it is in alignment with department and organization strategy ensure continous progress and growth. So always define your goal which makes you shine through delivery, grow with learning and securing your targets.

The Rule of Benedict commands, “Run while you have the light of life,” urging us to act with focus and intention. Applying mindfulness to career decisions cuts through the fog of doubt, enabling you to see your Divine path more clearly. By grounding yourself in the present moment, you silence the noise of regret and fear, allowing God's vision to clarify your goals and fuel your forward momentum. Mindful clarity isn’t just about staying focused—it’s about aligning your career with a higher purpose and making each step a sacred pursuit. #divineintervention #gabenfreude #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth

Tomar decisiones importantes en mis actividades laborales solía ser abrumador. A partir de incorporar mindfulness en este proceso la toma de decisiones es más clara y alineada con mis valores. Dedico tiempo a la reflexión consciente, respirando profundamente y despejando mi mente antes de evaluar opciones. Esto me permite ver las cosas desde una perspectiva más calmada y evitar decisiones impulsivas. También practico la escucha interna, reconociendo mis emociones para entender mejor lo que realmente quiero y necesito. La atención plena no solo mejora mi bienestar, también me ayuda a tomar decisiones más informadas y acertadas, y de ese modo evitar el estrés asociado a esta situación

Best thing to manage stress is a deep breath and exhale it out. Second watch the situation from distance, meaning consider yourself watching your situation as a movies from 3rd person perspective stress is reduced by 1/3 from experience.

Get practical with a simple mindfulness exercise that anyone can do in 15 mins to bring clarity to their career. Grab pen and paper and write down your answers to the following questions, one by one: #1 What is your career goal? #2 Who is the one trying to have a career? #3 Who is this, trying to have a career? #4 Who is pursuing a career here? #5 Who is the one aiming for career success here? #6 If there was an important aspect revealed in #2-#5 that isn't sufficiently reflected in #1, what would that be? #7 Based on this short reflection, what is your real career goal? #8 If you have discovered something new, what small step could you take today to change your life in this direction? [Any repetition you may have noticed is intentional]

Practicing mindfulness allows you to tap into your intuition. By tapping into your intuition, you can benefit from knowing the decisions are rooted in values, thrusting you forward with confidence as you make any career decisions.

Focus on what your target is, aligns your actions and energy in a direction. Ofcourse you are prone to distraction, but the impact of it is less when you focus is up.

Always use a Win-Win term and approaching in work or delivery of what is expected from you. With clear thoughts, targets always the situation can be of benefit to other than just yourself.

Some things I've used in the past: Future-Self Visualization: Take 5 minutes daily to visualize your future self in your desired career. Focus on the feelings and environment, allowing this clarity to guide your choices. Mindful Journaling: After each career decision or major workday, journal your thoughts and emotions mindfully. Reflecting on your reactions helps reveal patterns and what truly resonates with your goals. Morning Decision Reset: Start each day with a few moments of mindful reflection on your long-term goals. Realigning daily decisions with these bigger goals can bring more intentionality and fulfillment.
