6 Mindfulness Practices For Leaders 
(And Everyone, Really)

As Jon Kabat-Zinn puts it, mindfulness "wakes us up to the fact that our lives unfold only in moments." If we're not fully present for those moments, we may miss what's most valuable in our lives, both personally and professionally. Simply put, mindfulness is about not living in your head all the time and is about paying attention to where you are, what you're doing, or who you're talking to so that you are in touch with the right here, right now. Research shows that mindfulness reduces stress and increases concentration and clarity. Read on for five simple ways to practice mindfulness to improve your personal and professional life. { read more }

Be The Change
Establish mindfulness triggers in your daily routine so you can regularly take time to reconnect to the here and now. You could decide to take a moment of silence before each meal to reconnect to and savor the present. Or, you could decide that when the phone rings you will put everything aside and be fully present to the person on the other line. You could also use a desktop mindfulness app to remind you to take a 60 second mindful breathing break every hour during your work day. Find something that works for you!

Recognize The Moment's Possibilities & Challenges

You do not need to know precisely what is happening, 
or exactly where it is all going. 

What you need is to recognize 
the possibilities and challenges 
offered by the present moment, and to 
embrace them with courage, faith, and hope.

In A Moment You Are The Music

For most of us, there is only the unattended
Moment, the moment in and out of time,
The distraction fit, lost in a shaft of sunlight,
The wild thyme unseen, or the winter lightning
Or the waterfall, or music heard so deeply
That it is not heard at all, but you are the music
While the music lasts.
~ T.S. Eliot

Create Peace Within & Harmony With Nature & Social

Shower Thy grace upon us in the moment of our greatest need,
protect us from ourselves, and allow us to be a beacon of light
rather than a dark cloud for the ambiance that surrounds us.

Only with Thy aid can we create that peace within and harmony
with the outer environment, both nature and social,
for which our souls yearn.
~ Seyyed Hossein Nasr

All Partakes Of The Perfection Of The Whole

Every particular in nature,
a leaf, a drop, a crystal,
a moment of time
is related to the whole, and
partakes of the perfection of the whole.
