A 3 Minutes Exercise in Mindfulness-Meditation for Business People on the Go
TIMEOUT!
Whether your organization needs to increase sales, boost income, increase output, expand creativity, enhance problem-solving, find more balance or improve customer service — the discipline of MINDFULNESS-MEDITATION, when put into practice, will create massive and permanent change in the lives of your participants and in the day-to-day operations of your organization.
It’s time to call Timeout on you. Would you like to quiet the constant monkey chatter in your mind and allow yourself to consciously think better thoughts? If so, I would like you to try this easy 3 x 3 Meditation which is doing 3 minutes of meditation 3 times a day. Most people when they first start trying to meditate have difficulty sitting for longer than 3 minutes at a time. So, when you begin meditation it can be hard to just sit and mediate especially if you have a preconceived idea that meditation takes a long time. The truth is meditation is one of those essential practices that if you start using it in your life, it will permanently enhance and change your life for the better.
I think 3 minutes is a perfect amount of time to dedicate to yourself before starting your day. What do you think? This process is simply breathing in and out and being with your thoughts 3 minutes at a time 3 times a day. And the best thing about this is that often once you start you will want to meditate for longer and longer until eventually without you even knowing it, you might find yourself meditating for 20 to 30 minutes at a time. I personally have been meditating for over forty years and I swear by the benefits that one can receive. However, let’s start with 3 minutes and I promise that in 30 days you will see a huge difference.
Now to start this simple 3 x 3 meditation practice, be sure and set some reminders for yourself. The early morning and evening meditation may be easy to schedule but that midday or early afternoon can really make a world of difference in your life, so please try not to skip over it. If your office setting is not conducive for meditating, find a small room or even go and sit in your car for those 3 minutes in the middle of the day.
Let’s Take a 3 minute Timeout and Practice Mindfulness-Meditation. You ready?
The Process
Sit back, relax and close your eyes while focusing on your breathing is a great way to start. Do not judge your breathing just become aware of the sensation of air going in and out of your nostrils. You can feel the rise and fall of your chest and stomach as you continue to breathe deeper and deeper. You can focus on the coolness of the air that comes in through your nostrils and the warmth of the air as it goes out. Allow your thoughts to come and go and then gently refocus on your breathing.
In fact, if you’re in safe place right now and are ready to go, let’s try it for 3 minutes. Go ahead right now and close your eyes and just notice the difference between the sensation of the air coming through your nose and then again out through your nose. Just focus on that for a few deep breaths.
Focus on the sensation of the rise and fall of our chest and stomach as you breathe in and out. It’s incredibly relaxing and calming and will begin to quiet your mind so that deeper insights will begin to emerge. This meditation process over time will start to condition your mind and your mindset into a more powerful best version of yourself.
Once people start meditating, they begin to feel happier, more relax and stress-free. It’s will enhance creativity, productivity and efficiency in your work-life performance. This feeling will encourage people to want to try longer periods of meditation.
When you start with 3 minutes a day you can easily move on to 5 and even 10 minutes periods of meditation. And as your momentum builds, you’ll feel more confident and you will actually find yourself looking forward to your daily meditation breaks.
The Tony L Harris Method
Here’s the good news: you don’t have to invest a lot of time and energy into it to experience real results.
Instructions: Make yourself very comfortable. Sit back in your chair if you’re in a chair. Allow your hands resting lightly/gently on your thighs or one hand resting on the other. Or if you prefer you can lie on the floor with your arms at your side. So, go ahead and close your eyes and take a moment and tune in to your breathing. Do not judge your breathing just tune in and become aware. Be aware if your breathing is fast or slow, light or heavy, deep or shallow, easy and gentle. Become aware of all the sensations as the air goes into your nose and then as it comes out.
Do not listen to this video if you're driving a vehicle or operating heavy machinery.
