  • Summary

  • Hey there, and welcome to Mindful at Work. I'm so glad you've carved out this moment for yourself today. I know that right now, in early 2025, workplace demands can feel overwhelming - constant notifications, back-to-back meetings, and that persistent pressure to always be "on."

    Take a deep breath with me. Let's pause and reconnect.

    Wherever you are - whether at your desk, in a quiet corner, or even sitting in your car - allow your body to settle. Feel your feet connecting with the ground, grounding yourself like a tree with deep, sturdy roots. Notice how your breath naturally moves through you, without any force or effort.

    Today, I want to introduce you to what I call the "Reset and Refocus" technique - a powerful two-minute practice designed specifically for moments when your attention feels scattered and your productivity seems to be slipping away.

    Start by closing your eyes, if that feels comfortable. Imagine your mind as a computer screen with multiple browser tabs open simultaneously. Each tab represents a different task, worry, or distraction. Now, visualize yourself gently closing those tabs, one by one. Not aggressively, but with compassionate intention.

    As you breathe in, imagine collecting your scattered attention. As you breathe out, release what doesn't serve you right now. In... gathering your focus. Out... letting go of mental clutter.

    Your breath becomes a gentle reset button. Each inhalation brings clarity, each exhalation releases unnecessary tension. You're not trying to eliminate thoughts, but creating spaciousness around them.

    Now, bring your awareness to this precise moment. What do you need right now to feel centered and productive? Maybe it's three deep breaths. Maybe it's a moment of self-compassion. Maybe it's recognizing that your worth isn't determined by your output.

    As you prepare to return to your day, carry this sense of intentional calm with you. When you feel overwhelmed, you can always return to this two-minute reset. Your mind is not a machine - it requires gentle recalibration.

    Thank you for practicing with me today. If this resonated with you, please subscribe and share Mindful at Work with someone who might need a moment of calm. Until next time, breathe easy.
