Preparations
Consider arriving 5-10 minutes early at the office or intentionally wrapping up other tasks before diving into your online work
- Find a quiet spot—maybe by the window or in a cozy corner.
- Sit comfortably, spine straight but not rigid.
- Close your eyes or soften your gaze.
- Take a few deep breaths, feeling the rise and fall of your chest.
- Now, bring your attention to the present moment:
Gratitude:
Gratitude for at least 5 things in your personal life
- Before diving into your inbox, pause for a moment. Reflect on the goodness that has graced your day since morning — a kind word exchanged, a thoughtful gesture received, a small victory celebrated, or anything that has brought a smile to your face, like:
- Maybe it’s the cup of coffee by your side—the warmth seeping into your palms.
- Perhaps it’s the sun peeking through the blinds, casting a golden glow.
- Or a smile that you received – someone who smiled at you since morning
- Or even the fact that you have meaningful work to do—tasks that contribute to something greater
- Gratitude sets a positive tone for the day.
Intentions:
Set Intension for the day:
- Before diving into your daily tasks, take a moment to reflect on what needs to be accomplished today.
- Then, align those tasks with the broader goals of the company. And don’t forget to revisit the company’s mission and values—they’re like the North Star guiding your efforts.
One team working for one goal
When working in a team, envision the group as a cohesive unit striving toward a common goal. This sense of oneness fosters collaboration and enhances the effectiveness of all tasks
Imagine this world as a grand play, and each person has their unique role—much like actors on a vast stage. The same principle applies in the workplace: everyone performs according to their capacity and inclination. But here’s the twist—it’s up to you to decide which character you’ll embody.
Scene 1: The Shouting Match Picture this: someone raises their voice at you. It’s your cue. As the best player in this cosmic drama, what’s your next move? Do you join the shouting chorus, amplifying the noise? Or do you choose a different script altogether?
Scene 2: The Art of Response Consider an alternative scene. Instead of matching decibels, you pause. You breathe. Maybe you respond with calmness—a well-rehearsed line that disarms anger. Or perhaps you choose silence, letting their shouts echo into emptiness. You’re not weak; you’re strategic.
Scene 3: The Director’s Cut Now zoom out. The director—the wise part of you—observes. What serves the plot better? A fiery exchange or a subtle shift in dynamics? The choice is yours. You’re not just an actor; you’re the director, the scriptwriter, and the audience rolled into one.
Remember, life’s play unfolds scene by scene. Each interaction is a chance to shape the narrative. So, when faced with a shout, ask yourself: What role will I play?
