Friday Wisdom

Need periodic wisdom here.

15 practical steps Thich Nhat Hanh says we can take to bring mindfulness to our work:

• Friday
• 13. Try to relax and restore yourself before going home so you don’t bring accumulated negative energy or frustration home with you.
• 14. Take some time to relax and come back to yourself when you get home before starting on household chores. Recognize that multitasking means you’re never fully present for any one thing. Do one thing at a time and give it your full attention.
• 15. At the end of the day, keep a journal of all the good things that happened in your day. Water your seeds of joy and gratitude regularly so they can grow.

Tuesday Wisdom

15 practical steps Thich Nhat Hanh says we can take to bring mindfulness to our work:

• Tuesday
  • 4. Try not to divide your time into "my time" and "work." All time can be your own time if you stay in the present moment and keep in touch with what’s happening in your body and mind. There’s no reason why your time at work should be any less pleasant than your time anywhere else.
  • 5. Resist the urge to make calls on your cell phone while on your way to and from work, or on your way to appointments. Allow yourself this time to just be with yourself, with nature and with the world around you.
  • 6. Arrange a breathing area at work where you can go to calm down, stop and have a rest. Take regular breathing breaks to come back to your body and to bring your thoughts back to the present.
