1. Be mindful. Try a short meditation routine each morning in your home or on the train, tube or bus to work. Close your eyes, relax and concentrate on clearing your mind. Each time a thought distracts you, acknowledge it, don’t judge yourself, let the thought go and bring yourself back to the present moment. Regular meditation can help reduce your stress levels and be more focused at work. We’ve found the best mindfulness app for your phone is Headspace.
2. Walk while you work. Pop out for a twenty-minute brisk walk at lunchtime to stretch your body and clear your head. You might even want to try a walking meeting with like-minded colleagues – good for increasing creativity and fresh thinking. See here for tips on making walking meetings happen.
