3 Mindful Tips For The Working Day
In these unprecedented times, the stress and anxiety people are feeling is massive. The fears around Covid-19 and its impact on ourselves and society weighs heavy. On top of that, job insecurity, working while homeschooling, worrying about family members, or wondering if you’ll be able to pay the bills this month while looking for a job are all factors that only compound things.
Whether physically in the workforce, working for home, or job hunting, there are things you can control, and mindfulness can help. At any point during the day or night when your mind is racing, you can take a brief moment to pause, slow down the mind and let go of some of your burdens.
Here are three simple mindful tips that can you during the working day when the chatter in your mind is overwhelming.

Take three, deep breaths filling the whole of the lungs and diaphragm, softly exhale and let it all go.
Five-Minute Time-Out
