What can happen in the space of a pause?

The Case for Mindfulness Based Intervention

Workers today are overwhelmed. They are faced with increasing needs to be adaptable in a world that is changing faster than ever and pushing more information at them than a brain can actually manage. Digital technologies have increased the pace of communication and workloads are getting heavier rather than lighter. The resulting chronic stress leads to distractibility, exhaustion, anxiety, and burnout.

Mindfulness based interventions won’t change our working conditions, but they can empower the mind, through neural training, to combat the impact. Research shows that

  • breath control calms the brain and body;
  • attention control returns our ability to concentrate and focus;
  • present awareness interrupts habitual reactivity and provides a window in which to be curious and imagine new strategies or to offer ourselves compassion.

Science has shown that, over time and with commitment, we can rewire our brains for healthier mindsets that lead to increased performance and greater well being.
