About this listen
Take a moment right now to settle into your chair. Let your shoulders drop, and take a deep breath. Feel the support beneath you, grounding you in this present moment. As you breathe in, imagine drawing in clarity and calm. As you exhale, release any tension or anxiety about the day ahead.
Today's practice is about creating what I call "intentional intervals" - micro-moments of presence that can dramatically shift how you approach your work. Close your eyes if you're comfortable, or simply soften your gaze. Imagine your mind as a vast, open sky, and your thoughts as passing clouds. Some clouds are light and wispy, some are dense and dark - but they're all just passing through.
Notice your breath moving naturally. Don't try to change it, just observe. Each inhale is an opportunity to reconnect, each exhale a chance to let go. When you notice your mind drifting to work tasks or worries, gently - and I mean gently - guide your attention back to your breath. Think of this like training a puppy: with patience, not frustration.
Now, visualize your most important task today. See it clearly, but without judgment. What's one small, specific action you can take to move toward this goal? Breathe into that intention. Feel the difference between anxious striving and purposeful, mindful action.
As we prepare to return to our day, remember: mindfulness isn't about perfection. It's about showing up, again and again, with kindness toward yourself. Take this sense of calm and focus with you. When you feel scattered, pause. Take three conscious breaths. Reset.
