Tips to get you started in the practice of Mindfulness

 


 Here are some tips that may be useful to start practicing mindfulness:

Ø  Start practising for only 5 minutes

For the meditation to be effective, it is not necessary to spend two whole hours meditating and trying to reach Nirvana. You can meditate wherever and whenever you want: before a presentation, during your meal, or before you turn on your computer.

This is the same as going to the gym: start by meditating a little and gradually increase as you gain more experience in observing your own thoughts.

 

Ø  Find your space

Ideally, you find a quiet space to meditate (even if you want to meditate for only 5 minutes) that is away from the chaos and noise of the work.

If you can anticipate being interrupted, try to avoid it as much as possible so that your meditation session doesn't go to waste. Surely you don't want to be meditating and have a coworker come in SHOUTING SO STRONGLY AND ASKING YOU TO RESPOND TO AN EMAIL.

Possible spaces? The meeting room, the office couch, the balcony or even the bathroom!

 

Ø  Choose a mantra

Choosing a positive message and repeating it can help you to get it across to the unconscious and positively affect your day.

To choose your mantra you can consider what the goal of your day is. Imagine, for example, that you have a very important meeting and you need to get out of ten. In this case, for example, you can repeat to yourself "I am a capable, resolute person and I will do the meeting well".

 

Ø  Focus on your breathing

It is proven that breathing slowly and deeply calms your mental state. What is positive about this? That you can do it in absolutely any context: because you are always breathing (or so I hope!).

There is evidence to support a relationship between mindfulness and creativity.   When people have better control of their emotions, they experience less stress and are more creative.  Mindfulness can aid creative thinking by providing greater focus, increased generation of ideas and improved responsiveness to new concepts.   I share 3 basic tips that can help you achieve greater focus and better receptivity to begin to take control of your emotions and give way to creativity: 1. No to multitasking If there is one thing common to all work environments it is multitasking: we all end up doing fifty things at once as if we were an octopus. Now a phone call, now the mail, eating a sandwich and now deciding how I will title my next newsletter "Death by Stress". Starting to eliminate mult

Self-reflection on my way on the Radar Programme

  Self-reflection on my way on the Radar Programme          I have used the Gibbs' Reflective Cycle technique to do some self-reflection and analysis of my time on the Radar Program this year.   v Description A year ago, in October 2019, I was sent an email informing me that the one-year Radar Programme would be launched, consisting of a talent search, learning, skills development, monthly webinars of experts on the topic of the month, activities, awards, and much more, for Fujitsu employees across Europe. To be nominated, you had to have at least 3 of the 6 ingredients in their Secret Sauce: - Customer Empathy - Thrives in Constant Change and Responsibility - Self-Awareness - Open & Global Mind Set - Unbounded Curiosity - Technically Gifted   At that time I thought I had 5 of the 6 ingredients, the only one that in my view did not meet was "Technically gifted", and that, although my level of English is not very high, it would help me to p
