Adjust accordingly.

Every day we undertake dozens of different roles, tasks and experiences.

Most of us habitually carry our mindset and emotional state from one of these activities to the next e.g. back-to-back meetings.

The big stuff

We've been sold and told it's getting the 'big' stuff right that gives us balance and makes us happy: the holidays, the audacious goals, the pay rises.

But in our hearts we know it's really the small stuff: a great result at work, our welcome home, an absorbing conversation, those precious 'little' moments.

It is all about getting the small stuff right - not 'sweating' it, but making it much more rewarding, more often. After all, the small stuff makes up the big stuff.

You can only change what you notice.

Use the 'Third Space' (that moment of transition between a first activity and the second that follows), to mentally 'show up' right for whatever comes next.

Check in with your mental, emotional and physical state, as you go.

Adjust accordingly. 

Gaining control of the Third Space will empower you to do this any time and every time. And your breath is a great gauge to check-in with your state. 

Workplace meditation is a powerful framework to train this mental balance, positively impacting the day to day.
