Can You Meditate At Work?
Yes, it’s true…you really can meditate anywhere!
So why not incorporate meditation into your daily routine at work and create a daily meditation routine?
Now this might sound like an idea that you do not want to further explore, but there are a lot of great benefits to be had by making the conscious choice to meditate on the job.
Based on my personal experience, I’m much more productive when I meditate throughout my work day. I work in an amazing, supportive environment where everyone believes in bettering themselves (yes, we even have a meditation room at work!) but I do realize this isn’t the case for all.
Don’t be discouraged if this type of work environment doesn’t sound familiar to you because there are ways around the stiff corporate atmosphere which will help you bring more zen into your day!
1. Schedule an extra 10-15 minutes into your morning routine and try meditating in your car before you enter work for the day! This is a great way to start the day off right and rid yourself of the morning stresses in your life such as traffic jams or getting the kids off to school on time. Set the alarm on your phone and simply sit in peace for an allotted period of time. You can even choose to listen to relaxing meditation audios in your car while doing this.
2. I’m guessing you have 1 or 2 coffee breaks throughout your day so why not turn those coffee breaks into meditation breaks? Go into a meeting room, find a bench outside or make a trip to your car but find a quiet place where you can take 10 minutes of solitude for yourself.
Take the initiative to make sure you have a successful, productive day by incorporating meditation into your daily work (or pre-work) routine. You’ll experience clarity and improved focus throughout your day as well as many other benefits!
Your meditation goal might be to achieve a calm, peaceful state of mind (known as mindfulness meditation) or maybe you choose to meditate and visualize your way to success. Focusing on something positive and visualizing a successful outcome in a meditative state is a great way to actually accomplish what you want. Our subconscious mind doesn’t know the difference between reality and non-fiction which is great news because your subconscious will naturally work towards the thoughts in your mind. Be sure to choose the good ones!
Whether you choose to meditate for the sole purpose of relaxing your mind to wave good-bye to the thousands of thoughts running through your head or to set a positive, successful intention for your day, you’re bound to bring more focus, purpose and success into your life on the job! And did I mention that you’ll be happier because of this new meditation practice too?
Make an effort to meditate at work and I promise you’ll notice your performance and your mood sky rocket to levels you’ve only imagined!
