Mindfulness at work
Learning how to use our own inner resources and abilities to enhance our daily wellbeing, resilience and creativity
Practicing mindfulness allows us to develop a new way of being in the face of our everyday work and life challenges. It is about cultivating a quality of presence and attention which is open, kind and non judgmental to our experiences.
Most of the time our attention is not where we intended it to be. Our attention is hijacked by our thoughts and emotions, by our concerns, by our worries for the future, and our regrets and memories of the past. Mindfulness is a way of paying attention, in the present moment, to yourself, others and the world around you. It is like training a muscle, training attention to be where you want it to be. This helps to step away from our « autopilot mode » allowing us to choose how to respond appropriately to the situation at hand and to see context & different perspectives more clearly and to make sound decisions.
