In our hectic working world, it's more important than ever to consciously take short breaks. Even a few minutes of mindful breathing can help clear your mind, reduce stress, and recharge your batteries.
🧠 Why breathing exercises work:
Conscious breathing calms the nervous system—the body enters relaxation mode. This lowers the heart rate, increases concentration, and even hectic situations become less intense.
💼 How to integrate meditation into your daily work routine:
-
1-minute breathing pause: Close your eyes, inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 4 seconds, exhale for 4 seconds.
-
Mindful sitting: Briefly relax your shoulders, breathe deeply and consciously feel your body.
-
Mini meditation at your desk: 2 minutes of focus on your breath – no music, no distractions.
🌿 Benefits:
Regular breathing exercises have been proven to increase concentration, well-being, and emotional stability. Just a few minutes a day can reduce overall stress levels—and thus improve long-term performance.
