Mindfulness Minute

Let moments of frustration be an opportunity for reflection on what triggers you, how these triggers affect you and how you can create more buffers for yourself.

We can't expect ourselves to immediately and instantly be resilient when we want to be. Resilience is an inner environment that takes years to cultivate.

The workplace is rife with disagreement and conflict, just like life itself. Don't let the disagreements you experience become burdens you carry with you everywhere. Let go of absolutely everything you can and save your energy for peace instead.

Always brainstorm how to adapt techniques from the past to today's unique environments.

Don't be afraid to contemplate other career paths and pivots. It might be exactly what you're looking for.

Volunteering is a meaningful and fulfilling way to expand personal and professional growth.

If we expect every day to be a good work day, we will be sorely disappointed. Instead - remember that there's only so many things you can control and that everything else is up to chance. 

After a stressful day, it can help to sit down, close your eyes and breathe in the quiet moment.

If you've ever had a day where you are exhausted but wasn't productive in the traditional sense - always remember that work requires constant emotional labor. Give yourself lots of grace and the space to emotionally recharge each day.

We are always capable of a pivot, no matter what stage we are in our careers.
