Mindfulness for Workaholics

Did you know that July 5th was Workaholic’s day? Why would anyone want to celebrate that, right? Instead, here’s some quick tips about mindfulness for workaholics and a reminder to take a minute to be in the present and mindful of all the good around you.

Quick tips:

• Enjoy your health! Take a walk or ride your bike
• Get outside, have some fresh air, silence your cell phones AND put them away for an hour
• Interact with your friends and loved ones, go for a walk
• Sit under the shade of a tree or tend to the garden
• Fire up the BBQ, turn up the music on your speakers
• Play with your dog outside, take a day trip somewhere
• Go to a matinée movie or head to the beach
• Close your eyes and take three long, deep breaths
• Sit in the sunshine for 15 minutes
• If it’s raining outside, read a chapter in a book unrelated to work or school

Mindfulness for Workaholics

Be in the moment, and take a break! There’s more to life than the mind numbing cycle of work-vacation-work-vacation. Mindfulness is all about appreciation, gratefulness, and living in the present. A word to the wise: It’ll get done. Work always gets done. Look away from a screen and out the window. Life is more than work. Make the most of it, even if you only have a minute to reflect—close your eyes, take a deep breath, and be thankful.
