Here's how you can infuse mindfulness into your daily routine as an entrepreneur.

The Buddhists say, "Every activity you do is a meditation". This brilliant thought mindfully enhances our awareness that every activity we engage in has the potential of opening up our consciousness.

In my opinion, starting the morning with a calm routine can really help bring mindfulness into your day. Instead of jumping straight into emails or work, take a few minutes to breathe, have some quiet time with yourself. This helps clear your mind and prepares you to handle the day's tasks with clarity and purpose. When you drink your morning coffee or tea, do it mindfully, paying full attention to the flavors and sensations. This simple routine can transform your morning into a more mindful experience. Mindfulness is most talked and most unexperienced thing by most of us, hence each one should make an effort to taste the quietness and calm in some mindful moments with self.

I always start my morning with meditation, kundalini yoga, and playing my crystal singing bowls. I have found that it helps me focus and get clear before starting the day, in addition to helping me stay more calm throughout the day.

When planning your day, it's important to do it mindfully. Instead of quickly writing down tasks in a rush, take a few moments to thoughtfully prioritize what needs to be done. Consider what tasks truly need your attention and which ones align with your long-term goals. By taking this intentional approach, you can create a more streamlined and manageable to-do list. This not only helps you focus your energy on the most important tasks but also reduces stress and boosts your productivity. You'll find that you can work more efficiently and feel more accomplished by the end of the day. Mindfulness helps in filtering the important and unimportant tasks, some which you can drop, some you can delegate. Planning clears the dust and set priorities.

In meetings and conversations, most of the time we listen to reply not to understand. It’s important to really focus on the person speaking, instead of thinking about what you’re going to say next, give your full attention to the speaker. This helps you understand them better and shows respect, which strengthens your relationships. When you actively listen, you can make better and informed decisions. Additionally, be mindful of how you speak. Choose your words carefully to ensure they are clear and thoughtful. This helps in getting your message across effectively and avoids misunderstandings. Good communication is crucial for being a successful entrepreneur, as it fosters collaboration and trust.

While working, it is vital that we mindfully Take Breaks in order to rejuvenate. I am a huge proponent of the "Go Outdoors" philosophy. This reconnects us to Mother Earth and resets our Five Senses to their natural rhythms.

Mind and body can not perform at their best without breaks. Breaks are crucial for rejuvenating the mind and thoughts. However when breaks are mindful they are like BONUS. Taking mindful breaks means stepping away from your work with intention and focus. Instead of mindlessly scrolling through your phone or getting lost in distractions, use your break time to truly relax and recharge. A few ideas for mindful breaks can be deep breathing exercises, a short walk, stretching, or simply sitting quietly and observing your surroundings, or a short power nap. These mindful activities help you reset and return to work with a clearer mind and more energy, ultimately enhancing your productivity and well-being.

Taking a mindfulness break during your day is a great way to reduce stress! Whether you incorporate a daily walk at lunchtime, or take 5 minutes for a breathing exercise after a meeting, it can help you maintain a positive mindset throughout your day.

Most of us feels we are multitasking when we are working while eating our lunch/meals. However we are not doing justice to either the work or the food. Mindful eating means paying full attention to the experience of eating. Instead of rushing through meals or eating while distracted, take time to savor each bite. Notice the flavors, textures, and smells of your food. Chew slowly and appreciate the nourishment it provides. This practice helps you enjoy your meals more, improves digestion, and can even help you make healthier food choices. By eating mindfully, you become more in tune with your body’s hunger and fullness signals, leading to better overall well-being.

My Evening Wind-Down has remained consistent for years. First, I make preparations for the evening's meal. I Pray for friends, family and those requesting. I Express Gratitude in acknowledgement of Creator's many blessings. I Meditate. After this I cook, which is another form meditation. Then I engage in hydrotherapy - shower, bath or hot tub.

Integrating mindfulness activities is one thing, however it always comes down to your ability to reflect. Reflecting, evolving, then acting in accordance is where the magic happens. You can meditate all you like, however if you're not consciously allocating time to reflect on your day, week, month, year - you may not see a shift - a shift in yourself, or a shift in your business. As an entrepreneur, you are probably "go go go" all the time, however the deliberate pause to acknowledge the past, present and future is what needs to built in.
