Letting go of stress
To refresh, try a mindful approach
By Terri Dougherty, Editor, J. J. Keller & Associates
W
hen life moves at a fast and
furious pace, a mindful
approach lets you apply
the brakes. Being mindful creates
awareness of the moment. It lets you
pay attention to what is happening
while remaining intentionally
nonjudgmental.
Kinder reactions
By practicing mindfulness, you can
train yourself to respond in a calmer,
more productive way rather than
reacting harshly or being overwhelmed.
If a coworker dismisses
or criticizes your idea, being
more aware of your body's
emotional and physical
reaction helps you deliver a
more considerate response.
You can then move forward
productively.
Practicing mindfulness
also can help create a
feeling of calm when your
head is swimming with
tasks or distractions. A brief mindful
meditation allows you to pause and
ground yourself. As a result, you feel
better able to cope with everything on
your to-do list.
