It's around three o'clock and your to-do list for the day is still a foot long. Your first thought is to get another cup of coffee or maybe something sugary to keep you going. Your stamina and your waist line would however benefit from some mid-day meditation. This not about chanting, but merely taking a few moments to clear your mind. Meditiation is usually thought of as a relaxation activity, but it can also give you a well needed boost of energy and can help to reinvigorate your brain. A few minutes of meditation can keep you going the rest of the day.
Here are some suggestions:
1. Clear a Space. Try to get rid of all of the clutter that is on your desk or in your immediate proxity. This helps to bring order and calm to your environment.
2. Turn off the electronics: Log off of your computer and turn your PDA as well as the ringer off on your telephone. This action limits detractions.
3. Close your eyes and breathe. Sitting straight in a chair, take long, deep inhalations followed by even longer exhalations. Continue throughout the exercie.
4. Check your body. Are you tense anywhere? Concentrate on relaxing that area.
5. Do this for 5-10 minutes. How are you feeling? If you are still feeling sluggish or unfocused continue the meditation for a minute or two more.
