Mindfulness allows us to see that our thoughts about the future are simply thoughts, not facts. Often times, our brain is just in survival mode trying to protect us from ‘potential danger’ but it doesn't exist. When we see it for what it is, we can begin to let those unhelpful worries go.

You are never trying to switch your thoughts off. We have around 60,000 thoughts a day - so it’s impossible to stop them. Imagine there is a radio in your mind (playing out your thoughts). You are practicing turning your attention away from the sounds on the radio and into the present moment (for example, when you hear a thought you label it 'thinking' and then put your full awareness onto feeling sensations like the breath or maybe repeating an affirmation such as 'I am here').

Start small, and treat your mental health as important as your dental health (brushing your teeth). The science shows that it helps increase productivity, so if you want to improve the quality of your work and feel better during the process, why not give it a go?

When you get distracted by thoughts, remember that's the nature of the mind to wander off. It’s what we do next that’s important. Label it ‘thinking’, then gently turn back to the guided meditation or begin to count and feel each breath.

You don’t need to sit in any awkward position to be mindful or meditate. Simply get comfortable in a chair, sofa, or sit on your bed with your back supported. Relaxation is key. If you do lie down, you will probably fall asleep so try to avoid this unless you do want to sleep.

It is shown to help increase focus, clarity and creativity. But it's important to commit to regular practice to experience the benefits. Even 2 minutes a day is a great way to start your mindful habit.
