HOW TO INCORPORATE MICRO DOSES OF MEDITATION INTO YOUR WORKDAY Start with the Breath: One of the simplest forms of micro meditation involves focusing on your breath for a few moments. Close your eyes (if possible), take a few deep breaths, and notice the sensation of the breath as it enters and leaves your body. This practice can help calm the mind and bring you back to the present moment. Mindful Breaks: Instead of scrolling through your phone during a break, take a few minutes to practice mindfulness. Step away from your desk, find a quiet spot if you can, and simply observe your surroundings without judgment. Notice the sensations in your body, the sounds around you, and the thoughts passing through your mind. Desk Yoga: Incorporate gentle stretches and movements into your workday to release tension and promote relaxation. Simple yoga poses like seated twists, neck rolls, and shoulder stretches can be done right at your desk and can help alleviate stiffness from sitting for long periods. Gratitude Practice: Take a moment to reflect on something you’re grateful for, whether it’s a supportive colleague, a successful project, or simply the opportunity to do meaningful work. Cultivating a sense of gratitude can shift your perspective and foster a positive mindset. Learn more about our wellness work here: https://lnkd.in/gn__vNeZ

Have you checked out our Wellness Competencies?

It took us three years to identify a roadmap for facilitating wellness and well-being at the systems level. From hundreds of hours leading pilots, wellness & equity audits, professional development, and systems change consulting, we're excited to share our anchoring competencies for Wellness. We've used this tool internally for consulting priorities and feedback. This is a free resource for reference, and more resources to come! Our goal is to help as many companies as possible realize that success is predicated on the wellness and well-being of the workforce. The reality is, a lot of people aren't well! We need systems level activation and initiatives to change that. Want to start your journey to shift your company culture of wellness and well-being?
