Tips to maintain attention at work

Mindfulness is a practice that allows us to train our minds to manage stress. These are the tips to carry out the practice of mindfulness to your daily life and have a healthier and less stressful work day.

1. The "Strategic Acceptance": When you notice that your level of stress is increasing, do not try to force yourself to be happy or calm down at all costs.

The first step to returning to balance is simply to accept what you are feeling at that moment. It does not mean that you should resign yourself to a bad work situation, but it is to accept how things are at the moment before planning what you can do to improve it.

It is called "strategic acceptance" because it is done in the heat of battle; that is, at the moment when a stressful situation arises.

1. Try giving you a space to breathe for 3 minutes: at your desk or in a quiet place it takes three minutes, stop doing the activity you are doing and inhale and exhale deeply, take your attention to the breath and your body as a whole .

Go back to the activity you were doing consciously.

This practice will help you to clarify your thoughts, to reassure your global approach to life, as well as to be more productive by being present and informed about what happens.

You can do it 2 -3 times a day.

1. Tune into the distractions that are around you: in the offices it is common for there to be many distractors, whether your co-worker is very noisy or the phones ring constantly, etc.

One way to prevent these sounds from stressing you is to pay attention to the distractors instead of trying to turn them off or "not listen".

Gently note the sounds and see if you are aware of the effects they have on your bodyThe
