Perhaps you've heard of mindfulness before, and while it sounds great, you're too busy and can't seem to find the time to practice.

However, you don't need isolated time slots in your busy work day to practice mindfulness. You can be mindful while being productive at work or scrolling through social media. Here's how!

The Idea of the Week

Mindfulness is the practice of “living in the present” without judgment. This means we are aware of and accept our thoughts, feelings, sensations, and experiences. Our goal isn’t to clear our minds but to observe our present presence without making assumptions, judgments, or stories.

When we mindfully engage in an activity, we allow ourselves to be focused on our tasks and aware of our experiences.

Practice of the Week

This week, we encourage you to bring mindfulness to your workspace.

We also encourage you to mindfully engage with social media.

How often do you find yourself mindlessly scrolling through social media for hours at a time? How does that make you feel? What if you mindfully engaged with social media? When we mindfully engage with social media, this means we improve our awareness of our impact online, our reactions to what we consume, and our experience on these social platforms. Here are 6 tips for mindfully engaging with social media.
