Want To Stop Thinking About Work All The Time?

Jan 31, 2023

"I just want to stop thinking about work all the time!"

I remember having this thought a few years ago while watching my kids’ swimming lessons, stressing about a big work presentation on Monday and wishing I could JUST BE PRESENT.

Only once I started practicing mindfulness a couple of years later did I realize just how NOT present I had been most of the time, both at work and at home.

I thought it was just the reality of being in a demanding position and busy life.

But the truth is that a lack of presence is not about how busy you are. Presence is a choice and comes with intention (and practice!)

Being present in the moment can seem like a challenge in today's fast-paced world, however, taking a step back to focus, be mindful of your thoughts and emotions, and let go of worries about the past or future make all the difference.

"One of the simplest ways to stay balanced is to stay present in the moment." - Unknown

Because the present moment is where we truly live.

So the real power comes when you can learn to be present in ANY moment. Even when life is feeling chaotic around you.

And here’s the best part: you can learn to do this in simple ways. This is a game-changer when it comes to being balanced as a leader and in your life.

You can focus on the task at hand and be less distracted. You are more connected with the people you are with. You feel calmer and less overwhelmed in your day.

You notice if your thoughts are helping you or hindering you. You can clearly see the things that matter most, and focus your time and energy on those things.

You experience more joy and peace in the everyday moments at work and at home. You can mentally disconnect to stop thinking about work all the time!

When your mind does wander (which it still will at times), you can notice quickly and bring your attention back to the present moment.

Of course, if it was as simple as just forcing yourself to be present, you’d be doing it already.

What makes this possible and so powerful for my clients is learning key elements of mindfulness to calm your busy mind, and navigate everything that surfaces once you are more mindful.

I’d love to help you understand what’s really getting in the way of you being present and balanced in your life (and what you can do about it).
