Simple habits like mindful breaks can enhance workplace joy and reduce stress
Enhance Performance at Work with Mindfulness: Too many people allow themselves to get distracted throughout the day by notifications. Take back control of your attention by checking your device when you want to see if you have messages versus letting your device distract you throughout the day.
When involved in important communications, shut off your own mind chatter and assumptions about the motivations of others and focus in on the conversation itself. Listen. Process. Reflect.If besieged with anxiety over issues that are extraneous to the activity at hand, agree with yourself to put the concerns away in a “parking lot” or a box. Allot time in the day or week to give thought to, and attend to these concerns, but only during the allotted time.
Practicing these types of mindfulness activities can become an important part of a professional’s overall wellness strategy, and those wellness benefits extend well beyond the individual. Indeed, many companies support wellness programs because they recognize that the positive benefits don’t just enhance morale but also contribute to improved productivity and organizational effectiveness. Zeamo CEO Paul O’Reilly-Hyland echoes this sentiment.
"Companies today have truly started to focus more on improving the quality of life of their employees. Not only do workplace leaders want their employees to be healthy, they want them to feel less stressed, more engaged and eager to come to work. Companies with strong wellness programs see how positive change in their employees directly correlates to positive change in their business.
