It sounds counter-intuitive but if we want to get more done it helps to pause every now and then to do nothing. Finding time to meditate at least once a day can work wonders for our productivity. Research-backed benefits include:
- reduced stress – calms mind and body.
- better decision making – can think more clearly, more aware of natural instincts.
- renewed energy – taking time away from focussed work fuels stamina to do more.
There are countless resources available for guided meditation, my favourites include Headspace, Buddhify and YouTube links.
