During a busy workday, breaks are essential for staying focused and stress-free. But not all breaks are considered equal. If you want to make the most of them, turn to meditation.
The Balance app has mindfulness meditations and productivity tools specifically designed to support you at work or school. You'll find sessions targeted at improving your creativity, motivation, and concentration, as well as focus music and a Pomodoro timer to play in the background as you get things done. It's a meditation program that's all about helping you feel like your best self—in your personal and professional life.
Meditation can be a valuable tool for improving productivity, focus, and overall well-being in the workplace. Here are some ways meditation can benefit you at work:
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
Meditating at work can seem a little intimidating, but you can do it anywhere and anytime. To find motivation, consider a quick guided meditation practice before you start your workday. And a relaxing session is the perfect way to end your workday, helping you release any lingering stress and clear your mind so you can be more present for the people in your personal life.
But meditation can also fit right into the middle of your workday. You can try a walking meditation during an afternoon break or stop your mind wandering with focus music designed to be played while you're working on a task.
The best way to experience the benefits of meditation at work is to establish a regular meditation practice. So feel free to experiment with different techniques and times of day. And remember that meditation can look a little different for everyone. Whether you like meditating at your desk or outside, in private or in public, it's all about supporting your mental health. So do what feels right for you.
The Pomodoro technique is a popular time management tool that breaks up work sessions into 25-minute blocks of focus time followed by 5 minutes of rest, and it can improve both concentration and productivity.
To start using the Pomodoro technique, you can simply set a timer. However, for a little more guidance, consider trying the Balance app's unique Pomodoro meditation. It does the timer work for you and allows you to fully customize your experience, from picking background music for your work sessions to giving you the option to do a quick, relaxing meditation during your 5-minute breaks.
Meditation can level up your work routine, improving your concentration, reducing your stress level, and giving you a boost of creativity and confidence. If you want to see how meditation can transform your workday, the Balance app has the best library of research-backed meditations and productivity tools. And you can try it all out for yourself with a one-year free trial. That's 12 months of productivity support, and you don't have to pay a thing.
