As a young HR professional, I had often found myself on the “BUSY” train – racing from one meeting to another, cramming my agenda, and often skipping lunch. Did it give me a high or a low? Honestly, a bit of both!
But lately, I’ve been taking a step back to reflect on it all. If we introduce a little silence and reflection into our hectic lives (yes, I know, who has time for that, right?), amazing things can happen!
Here’s why: It boosts effectiveness: Amidst the chaos, there’s little room for creativity. Silence and reflection create space for innovative solutions.
It supercharges productivity: Squeezing quiet time into your schedule helps you focus on tasks and be more productive. Multitasking in endless meetings? Not so much.
It fosters flexibility: Different perspectives emerge when you take a breath. You start seeing the bigger picture from various angles.
It enhances anticipation: Slowing down allows you to prepare for what’s ahead without feeling stuck or searching for proof to back your ideas.
It teaches you to listen: When you manage silence, you truly listen – not just to others but also to your own thoughts.
So, if you’re curious about how embracing a little mindfulness can work wonders in your professional life, I’d love to chat! Let’s connect for a dialogue. Shoot me a message or hit that “Connect”
