あらすじ・解説
Hey there, and welcome to Mindful at Work. I'm so glad you've carved out this moment for yourself today. I know mornings can feel like a whirlwind - emails flooding in, meetings stacking up, that persistent buzz of digital notifications pulling your attention in a hundred different directions.
Today, let's breathe some spaciousness into that intensity. Take a moment right now to settle into your chair, feeling the solid support beneath you. Close your eyes if you feel comfortable, or simply soften your gaze.
Take a deep breath in through your nose, letting your chest and belly expand. And then a long, slow exhale, releasing any tension you're carrying. Another breath in, drawing in fresh energy. And out, letting go of what doesn't serve you right now.
Imagine your focus as a gentle beam of light. In our hyper-connected world, this light gets scattered, fragmented by constant interruptions. But you have the power to gather that light, to make it coherent and strong. We're going to practice what I call the "Laser Focus Technique."
Picture your attention like a laser - precise, concentrated, able to cut through distractions. With each breath, imagine gathering your scattered mental energy. Inhale, drawing your thoughts to a single point. Exhale, letting unnecessary mental chatter dissolve.
When a distraction surfaces - a work worry, a pending email, a random thought - simply notice it. Don't fight it. Acknowledge its presence, then gently guide your laser-like attention back to your breath. It's like training a puppy - patient, kind, consistent redirection.
Your mind will wander. That's not a failure - that's the practice. Each time you notice and return, you're strengthening your attentional muscles. You're building mental resilience.
As we close, I want you to carry this laser focus with you. Choose one task today where you'll apply this technique. Maybe it's a report, a challenging conversation, a creative project. Bring that concentrated, compassionate attention.
Thank you for practicing with me today. If this resonated, please subscribe and share Mindful at Work with someone who might need it. Until next time, breathe deep and stay focused.
