Manage Workplace Stress with Mindfulness
Feeling stressed? You’re not alone. According to the National Institutes of Health, 94% of workers report feeling stress at work, with 63% of U.S. workers revealing they are ready to quit their jobs to escape work-related stress. In the bustling corporate world, workplace mindfulness and corporate wellness have emerged as essential tools to combat this pervasive issue.
Are you ready to unlock the secrets to a stress-free work life? Look no further. As a top mindfulness and wellness consultant in Dallas, we at Mastermind are dedicated to transforming your work experience with neuroscience-based stress management and mindfulness practices.
Understanding Stress and Mindfulness
So what exactly is stress? Stress occurs when a person perceives that demands on them exceed their personal and social resources to cope. Across research studies, higher levels of mindfulness are correlated with higher measures of stress resilience. Even a 15-minute practice has been shown to immediately relieve stress!
Incorporating Mindfulness in the Workplace: Four Key Tips
Mastermind specializes in Neuroscience-Based Stress Management, a lifestyle approach that uses the most relevant and up-to-date brain health research to create strategies and practices that help manage and reduce short-term and chronic stress that may compromise your wellness. Based on this approach, we have curated four immediately actionable tips for you to reduce stress and improve your work life:
- Recognize: Be aware of your triggers for stress and overwhelm. Become familiar with how stress feels in the body and mind so you can take steps to support your performance and well-being.
- Reframe: Befriend stress as something supporting your growth and service. There’s research from the University of Wisconsin showing that if we don’t think stress is harmful to our health, then we don’t experience any adverse effects from it!
- Refresh: Use mini mindfulness breaks like the S.T.O.P. technique to lower stress levels and refresh your mind throughout the day.
- Reset: Set aside regular time to downregulate the nervous system through mindful meditation (like this brief breathing practice), exercise, stretching, time with loved ones, or whatever nourishes you.
We hope these tips help you reduce stress and live a happier, healthier life. Next time you feel stressed, remember these words from mindfulness leader Jon Kabat-Zinn, “You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn to surf,” and start surfing those waves of life with mindfulness!
