Take a Break ---Drink Chai ---Connect to Why--Create Meaning at Work

Many of us have no problem with doing work, completing tasks and ticking the box.

But many feel they are not finding the right meaning for their work,a much higher meaning ,pun intended, we are not finding our purpose in what we do.

This could be because you are just picking urgent tasks and have not thought what was important for you on that particular day. You may be so busy doing only urgent things that at the end of the day, you just churned out a whole bunch of things, and it doesn’t feel that meaningful. You didn’t procrastinate, didn’t fritter the day away in distractions … but there’s more to life than just churning and being super busy.

Meaning is anything that makes life better — your own life included. If you are putting smiles on people’s faces, helping them find mindfulness, helping them make a living, making their jobs easier or their headaches smaller … you’re doing something meaningful.

Pause for Poise –As we go about the day’s work we can make it a practice to pause for a moment sip a cup of tea and listen to our selves. Are we just going through the motions of living or are we getting connected to the Why. Are we finding meaning in what we do,is there a purpose behind it. Think about it, as these pauses increase you will develop a certain poise in life .When you pause, check in and ask yourself why you’re doing this. Why is it meaningful? Whose life will be made better in some small way? For example, as I write this, I imagine one of you might feel that their work is a little more meaningful. That warms my heart. As I did a coaching call with someone today, it felt meaningful to support their incredible work in the world. Why does this matter to you? Why is this important enough to be in your life? Connect your task to this Why.

Journey from Head to Heart

Connecting with people is a beautiful way to understand your own Self. You will understand your Why as well if you start getting absorbed in conversations mindfully observing everything including the other person, your own self how you are talking, the way you are talking. Slowly you can feel the pleasure, the joy, the love, in your heart.Take a break, drink Chai, connect to Why
