Working From Home: Take 5 Mindful Minutes

Here’s how mindfulness can help you whilst working from home. Mindfulness has been proven to help both body and mind as well as boost performance and productivity  in employees. These top 5 reasons show why you should use mindfulness in your employee wellness plans.

1. Reduce Anxiety

They say that anxiety is the thief of joy. Some people tend to worry a lot whilst others seem to stay calm even in a massive crisis. Curb your anxious thoughts by using the power of  mindfulness and try to keep up the habit. 5 minutes each day is better than 30 minutes every 2 weeks.

2. Increase Brain Power

Working from home has been proven to give you more productive employees. If you want to boost this further, mindfulness is a great way to improve brain power so employees are able to focus better throughout the working day. Studies have shown that long-term mindfulness practice and meditation techniques actually change the wiring of your brain, reducing stress and improving your brain health and mental wellbeing

3. Decrease Stress

Mindfulness has been proven to decrease stress levels due to its calming impact with things such as reducing anxious thoughts and increasing positive chemicals in the brain to offset depression.

4. Improve Sleep

Sleep is like a superpower. If you don’t get enough of it, you don’t perform to your potential. Sleep is vital when working from home especially and it’s important to practise good sleep hygiene such as not checking your emails before sleep and winding down after a work day.
