How to Bring Calm and Focus to Your Work

Finding time for meditation was always a challenge because I was under the impression, that I had to “do” meditation. And I didn’t have time for another burdensome thing to “do”. Fortunately, a friend pointed out one day that we don’t “do” meditation; meditation “does” us. That opened the door for me.

Mindfulness is a non-cognitive, non-verbal way of dealing with our emotions, impulses and constant mind chatter.

Until lately, mindfulness was considered to be mere hype by some in the business world. However, recent research provides strong evidence that practicing “non-judgmental, present-moment awareness” actually changes the brain, and that it does so in ways that anyone working in today’s complex business environment – and certainly every leader – should know about.
