    Mindfulness: Find Calm, Be Present, Get More Done

    Take a breath and just be present. 
    OR 
    When you’re calm, you get more done. 
    OR 
    Quiet the noise around you and focus on the moment. 
    OR 
    Find peace in your daily life. 

    Introduction:

    Life is full of noisy notifications, chats, and deadlines; it just keeps going. Your brain needs a serious break! Here on Iconday, we think mindfulness is the key. This page gives you easy ways to meditate, tools to chill out, and tips to get things done while staying cool, focused and grounded, no matter what craziness comes your way. 

    Why Mindfulness is a Big Deal:

    Less Stress and Worry 
    Mindfulness can actually lower your stress hormones. So, smile instead of worrying 24/7. 
    Better Focus & More Progress 
    When your head is clear, you remember things better and stay more focused for a longer time. 
    More Emotional Balance & Strength 
    Just watching your thoughts (and not freaking out) builds more emotional strength. 
    You Feel Better All Around 
    Practicing mindfulness daily can help you feel and look better overall.

    Easy Mindfulness Habits to Begin Today

    Here are some simple things you can do; no need to go on a retreat: 

    5-Minute Breathing 
    Close your eyes. Take slow, deep breaths. Even a few minutes can help you relax. 
    Quick Meditations 
    Try a guided app or just sit quietly and watch your thoughts go by.
    Body Scan Exercises 
    Pay attention to your body. Loosen up tight spots and be present at that moment. 
    Do One Thing at a Time 
    Forget about trying to do everything. Stick at one task at a time. 
    Switching Rituals 
    A simple tea or a quick stretch before work can help you switch from worries to personal time. 

    Mindfulness Doesn't Need to Be Hard

    • Don’t stress about being perfect, just be present. 
    • Skipped a day? No biggie, start again tomorrow. 
    • Can’t find a quiet place? Try focusing on your breath while you’re on the bus doing dishes. 
    • Mind is all over? Let a guide help you find some peace and quiet. 
    • The trick is consistent awareness, not spending hours meditating.
