On the off-chance that you missed my collaboration with Be Rowland of Mindful Productivity, here's a timely reminder!
Many of you busy-business-bees will guffaw at the notion of mindfulness in business, and the role it plays in productivity - however, laugh no-more, my dears - it really does make a difference.
Be practical with yourself: how much of your day do you spend pontificating on the what-ifs, who's-responsible, will-I, won't-Is? If you're being honest with yourself - more time than you'd care to mention. Can you see why it's unhelpful? Or do you think of it as productive?
It's easy to understand why some might consider not being mindful as a way in which to manage the stresses, impacts and pressures of the day - WRONG - constantly parsing what might happen actually ADDS to your stress levels. Being in the now, or mindful, gives you the opportunity to realise potential and expand ideas.
Of course, sometimes it's hard to prevent the default setting (hence why Be's reminders are so handy!) - however understanding the benefits of mindfulness can help rectify this. Accepting what is happening at any given time allows you to see past it and decide the next step.
