I’ve spent countless times in the washroom trying to relax. If you have the opportunity, try to go outside. Expose yourself to the sun for a few minutes and get some outdoor air in you. Find a peaceful spot, close your eyes and take some slow deep breaths. You’ll be in better shape to get back to your desk!

Good luck!
Vlad

I think the main point is just to leave the desk and chill out a bit. This works for me even it’s just for several minutes. Now you suggested another great way to relax, must try it out, thanks Vlad~

Two times a week most of the time. It has carried over into my daily practice as well. When I find myself getting overwhelmed I do a few poses to loosen everything up, get the blood flowing, and I practice breathing.

I’m simply amazed at how just a few moments of breath let all the buzz of the internet, the cell phone, the need to be producing can go away…. and a peaceful state with a clear mind returns.

I guess it’s like a walking meditation. I start with a good stretch after standing from my chair. Then I stand up straight as I walk so I can take good deep breaths. It’s a great way to recharge so that I can tackle the rest of the day.

Your son got the right idea. We can all learn from him!

Thank you for sharing! Vlad

Glad you found the advice helpful! I can attest firsthand about my intelligence going down as the clutter and distractions mount. People talk of multitasking, when it’s the single-tasking that’s the most productive!

Be well, Vlad

You make a great point! When we are present in the moment, just about anything can have a meditative effect on us. There is a a walking meditation technique that is part of the Mindfulness Meditation. Very effective, and combines meditation with an outdoor activity!

Thank you! Vlad

Thanks for the comment. I’ve never tried to focus on the air in the lungs, but I will give it a try! Thank you for the tip!

Take care, Vlad
