Take one mindful breath before starting any task
Notice your posture and relax your shoulders and jaw
Set a timer for short check-ins (30–60 seconds) during the day
Do one minute of “feel the body” scanning (feet, legs, hands, face, breath)
Focus on one task at a time; when distracted, gently return attention
Practice mindful listening during meetings (listen for meaning, not response)
Use pauses before replying; take one breath between listening and speaking
Keep awareness of sensations while typing, writing, or using a mouse
Try “single-sense focus” (e.g., feel contact with chair, notice breath, hear sounds)
Label distractions silently (“thinking,” “worrying,” “planning”) and redirect
Use mindful transitions (before opening a new tab, after finishing a task)
Take short breaks to look away from screens and notice visual sensations
When stressed, do a quick body scan from head to toe
Practice gratitude at work (one thing you appreciate about the day or team)
Set one intention for the next task (e.g., “do this carefully”)
Keep an eye on urgency; soften the grip by slowing the next action
Use a brief breathing pattern (inhale, exhale) for a few cycles when overwhelmed
Notice emotions in real time and choose a next step aligned with your values
Manage attention with environment cues (reduce notifications, close extra tabs)
End meetings with a mindful moment (one breath, summarize next steps calmly)
Keep a short “mindfulness cue” note at your desk (e.g., “Breathe, then act”)
Review your day for 1–2 minutes: what moments were most present and why
Stay consistent with small practices rather than long sessions
If you miss a moment, restart immediately without judgment
If possible, schedule one brief mindfulness block during the workday
