You're feeling overwhelmed at work. How can you incorporate mindfulness to boost workplace positivity?

You know what's worst than feeling overwhelmed at work? Feeling overwhelmed and having the most negative person right next to you piling up their own cr*p onto your plate already full. So let's work on not being that person first. Educating yourself about mindfulness and gaining self-awareness about your state is a massive step. Even the very first thought about doing something differently is a great progress. Start from somewhere. If you don't feel yet ready to pay attention to yourself a little more, at least start learning about what it entails. Understand mindfulness first, and get your head around what it is. Understand the non-judgemental part of it and how it serves as an audit tool to bring you closer to yourself.

Mindful breathing works best for me to step back and refocus. It calms the neuro transmitters from any over whelm. Helps to bring mind, body and thoughts in perfect alignment, to carry on the work.

Incorporating Mindfulness to Boost Workplace Positivity Feeling overwhelmed? Mindfulness can help. Try short breaks for deep breathing or meditation. Focus on the present moment, acknowledging thoughts without judgment. Practice gratitude for small wins. Prioritize tasks, breaking them into smaller steps. Encourage open communication with colleagues, fostering a supportive environment. Remember, small mindful actions can significantly improve overall well-being and work satisfaction.

At the end of the day, reflect on 3 things you’re grateful for that happened during the day. They may be small: 1. I had the chance to take a bathroom break 2. My coworker said good morning 3. My boss said hello to me Or they may be big: 1. Closed the biggest deal of my life 2. Was promoted after holding an interim role 3. My internet failed and I still nailed the presentation Eventually, you’ll have a backlog of great moments. Let’s say, 6 months from now when you want to rage quit, you can look back on the day your coworker said hello and remember some days are more emotional than others.
