 Hello there, and welcome. I'm so glad you've carved out this moment for yourself today. Right now, in this busy world of constant digital demands and endless to-do lists, I want you to know that you're exactly where you need to be.

Take a deep breath and feel the weight of your day beginning to soften. Perhaps you're feeling that familiar overwhelm - emails stacking up, meetings running back-to-back, that persistent sense of always being slightly behind. Today, we're going to shift that narrative, just for a few moments.

Settle into your chair, letting your feet ground into the floor. Close your eyes if you feel comfortable, or simply soften your gaze. Notice how your body is supporting you right now - this chair, this moment, this breath.

Imagine your attention is like a gentle spotlight. Right now, that spotlight has been scattered, jumping from task to task, notification to notification. But what if you could consciously direct that spotlight? What if focus wasn't about working harder, but about working more intentionally?

Let's practice a technique I call the "Anchor and Expand" method. Begin by choosing one primary task or intention for the next few hours. Visualize this task as a clear, bright point of light. Now, breathe into that light - not by tensing, but by breathing spaciousness around it.

When your mind wanders - and it will, because that's what minds do - gently guide that spotlight back to your intention. No judgment. Just smooth, compassionate redirection. Like a kind friend guiding you back to a path, without criticism.

Feel how this creates a different quality of attention. Not forceful, but fluid. Not rigid, but responsive. You're training your mind to be both focused and flexible - the ultimate productivity skill.

As we close, I invite you to carry this spotlight of attention with you. Choose one moment today where you'll pause, breathe, and intentionally redirect your focus. Maybe it's before a meeting, or between tasks.

Thank you for practicing with me today. If this resonated, please subscribe to Mindful at Work: Daily Tips for Productivity and Focus. Together, we're reimagining how work can feel - present, purposeful, and genuinely satisfying.

Take care, and see you next time.
