Meditation at work? Easy!

Quiet Mind is a simple meditation that can be done anytime, anywhere. Try to do it right now.

Meditation helps to fully relax and “reboot” the head in just a few minutes. That’s just to be alone with yourself in the midst of a working day is not so easy. This is not a problem, says psychologist Sandy Newbigging1. He offers a simple meditation called “Calm Mind”. It can be done in front of everyone. And no one will notice. You don’t even have to close your eyes!

So. As you read these words on the computer screen, widen your gaze. The field of view will automatically expand to the left and right. Don’t look at anything in particular. Instead, use your peripheral vision to notice what is on the sides. The picture will be fuzzy, but it doesn’t matter! A new experience is important: what it is like to use your eyes not to see something better, but to see more of everything.

“When you practice this simple meditation, your mind naturally clears itself of a bunch of thoughts,” says Newbigging. – Instead of thinking about why and how meditation works, it’s better to just do it right now! You’ll like it”.
