MT is not about doing different
things or in a different way. It is merely a different
way of relating to what we are already doing.
The CBMT programme is designed to develop strong
mindfulness, focus and concentration throughout
the entire day with whatever we are doing. The
Programme includes the development of mindfulness
in a number of general activities that makes up
a normal working day. Read more about that below.The
programme also includes training in six positive
and powerful attitudes of Mindfulness Training.
MINDFUL WORKING
To be working with mindfulness
is to be present and fully aware of what
you are doing. The result will be a clearer
focus throughout the day, a more fulfilled
feeling when returning home, and much greater
satisfaction and joy in everything you do.
Working with mindfulness does not make you
slower, only smarter.
MINDFUL EMAILING
Emailing is a fast way of communicating.
Sometimes it can be too fast.
A single word can be interpreted differently
from the intention of the sender. It can
cause minutes or hours of anger, confusion,
doubt and other energy consuming states
of mind. Applying a short moment of mindfulness
when emailing can save much time and energy.
MINDFUL
MEETINGS
Applying mindfulness while meeting with others
is a simple and efficient way of getting the
most out of the time together, both personally
and professionally. Mindfulness is not about
retreating from the surrounding world. Mindfulness
is about being fully present in the world
around us.
MINDFUL BREAKS
Our brain needs regular breaks from its
constant activity. Taking regular Mindful
Breaks is a simple and efficient way of
re-focusing and recovering so that we can
work more effectively and smartly. A mindful
break need not to take more than 30 seconds.
Mindful Breaks are short moments of mindfulness
training. This is an active process and
not to be mistaken for power-naps or relaxation.
MINDFUL
TRAVELLING
All of us spend at least a few minutes or
even hours every day travelling to and from
work. We often regard this as wasted time.
But we can also choose to see this time as
free space for ourselves, our own time. It
can be time to practice Mindfulness so that
we arrive at work or home with renewed energy
and a clear focus on the tasks or the people
that are awaiting us.
MINDFUL
EATING
Mindful Eating is not only allowing us to
enjoy the food we eat much more. It is also
about using the eating time as a mindful moment
of renewing energy and focus. Furthermore
it is an efficient way of living a healthier
life by becoming aware of our eating patterns.
