Yes, it’s true…you really can meditate anywhere!

So why not incorporate meditation into your daily routine at work and create a daily meditation routine?

Now this might sound like an idea that you do not want to further explore, but there are a lot of great benefits to be had by making the conscious choice to meditate on the job.

Speaking from personal experience, I find that I’m much more productive on the days that I meditate at work. I work in an amazing, supportive environment where everyone believes in bettering themselves (yes, we even have a meditation room at work!) and realize this isn’t the case for all.

Don’t be discouraged if this type of work environment doesn’t sound familiar to you because there are ways around the stiff corporate atmosphere which will help you bring more zen into your day!

1. Leave your house 10 or 15 minutes early and meditate in your car before entering the office! This is a great way to start the day off right and rid yourself of the morning stresses in your life such as traffic jams or getting the kids off to school on time. Set the alarm on your phone and simply sit in peace for an allotted period of time. You can even choose to listen to relaxing meditation audios in your car while doing this.

2. It’s customary in most work environments to have coffee breaks throughout the day so why not turn your coffee break into a meditation break? Go into a meeting room, find a bench outside or make a trip to your car but find a quiet place where you can take 10 minutes of solitude for yourself.

Meditating before or at work is a great way to set yourself up for a successful day and it’s also a great way to re-focus your efforts on those days when nothing seems to be going your way!

You can choose to meditate with the goal of achieving a calm, thought-free mind (known as mindfulness meditation) or you can meditate and visualize all the successes you’ll experience throughout your day. Focusing on something positive and visualizing a successful outcome in a meditative state is a great way to actually accomplish what you want. Our subconscious mind cannot separate reality from perceived thoughts and if you focus on a successful, positive outcome your subconscious mind will work towards that goal without you giving another thought to it!

Whether you choose to meditate for the sole purpose of relaxing your mind to wave good-bye to the thousands of thoughts running through your head or to set a positive, successful intention for your day, you’re bound to bring more focus, purpose and success into your life on the job! And did I mention that you’ll be happier because of this new meditation practice too?

Make an effort to meditate at work and I promise you’ll notice your performance and your mood sky rocket to levels you’ve only imagined!
