We all hear so much these days about "mindfulness" and how it can reduce stress, enhance emotional intelligence and handle painful thoughts and feelings. But do you REALLY know what it is?
Put simply, mindfulness is a form of self-awareness training adapted from Buddhist Mindfulness Meditation. Some call it "the art of conscious living".
We like this definition from Jon Rabat-Zinn, leading authority on mindfulness:-
"Paying attention, in a particular way, on purpose, in the present moment, and non judgementally."
Why not take 2 minutes this morning to think about that definition and how you might be able to apply mindfulness techniques in your professional environment? And look out for more hints and tips later this week.
