Meditation is nothing new. And it doesn't require anything that you don't already have in this exact moment.
That's the beauty and simplicity of meditation--there's nowhere to go, nothing to own, nothing to lose, and everything to gain by finding stillness during a chaotic day at work.
Too often we fumble through our days at the mercy of demands--our bosses, our clients, or schedules, or our chaotic thought-filled minds.
It's so easy to get sucked into the fast pace of daily life that most people forget what it's like to notice their breath. To be aware of their bodies. To simply watch their thoughts pass by like leaves on a stream.
That type of presence, connection, and attunement to our present experience is all too rare in our personal and professional lives. And the more we get back to that state of mind, the better we feel, the clearer we think, and the happier we become.
As a coach and licensed therapist who frequently teaches mindfulness techniques to clients, I wanted to write a brief article on tips that my clients find helpful when learning how to meditate.
Some of what I discuss are different ways to practice mindfulness meditation. Others are resources commonly recommend.
My hope is that someone new to meditation--or new to consistently practicing meditation--can read this article and then re-connect with the present moment.
Read the list below to discover seven ways to practice mindfulness meditation at work.
1. Use a popular meditation app for a quick refresher.
There are many great meditation apps to try. I recommend downloading several free apps until you find one that feels like a good fit. When working with clients, the first two I recommend are Insight Timer and Headspace. Headspace is great for beginning technique and Insight Timer has many incredible free guided meditations for a wide range of experiences and expertise. (MORE)
