In work and personal life, mindfulness is important to ensure a healthy and balanced mental state.
Mindfulness is the ability to be calm and present. Research tells us that the average person spends 49% of their day thinking about the future. Unsurprisingly, worrying about the future typically leads to a person feeling a lack of calm and reduced attention to the present moment.
Practising mindfulness doesn’t have to be an extreme change. To make new lasting habits, it is important to start small – add in one change at a time and aim to become consistent.
For great practical tips, check out the Mindfulness video from the Resilience Project about how to incorporate mindful habits in your daily life.
All employees can access the whole Digital Wellbeing Series by the Resilience Project, which includes bite-sized videos to help you build resilience and happiness through simple and practical actions. You can access ten topical videos including emotional literacy, social connection, healthy eating, and of course, mindfulness, and complete the modules at your own time and pace.
