Re: How does mindfulness influence your work?

Oh - I'm also thinking that I will research the Buddhist idea of "right livelihood" - to see if I find any clues there... cos I just find the "western, capitalist, success" approach to working, that I've been taught, to be boring, stressful, uninspiring, unmotivating... :? http:/...

Re: How does mindfulness influence your work?

Hey cool - wow, thank you for your great replies - lots of stuff to think about there! 8-) I found a great guided meditation last week, from J.O.B. (Joy of Being - which I think is such a funny/ great acronym - not sure everyone would choose that too be the definition of their "job", haha)...

Re: JOT Week 15: Be Glad

Hi all :) Sorry I've been so quiet - I feel like I'm really letting the JOT team down a bit :oops: I've been SOOO busy doing my own mindfulness/ meditation program - it's been going so well lately - also doing lots of reading on Zen - doing a new yoga regimen, changing my diet, making lots of progre...

How does mindfulness influence your work?

I'm trying to incorporate mindfulness / Zen Buddhism more into my work and my working day. I'm lucky to have a job, where I'm able to do that. I was wondering how it influences or affects others in their work? Are there mindfulness aspects that you would *like* to incorporate more into your work? (I...

Starting the day - Ending the day

Hmm, starting this thread was a sudden idea, so I don't know if it's really going to go anywhere... I'm ending my day today, feeling somewhat stressed about the day ahead. It's silly, really, because nothing particularly stressful is happening tomorrow, but I do have 3 important commitments, that I ...

Re: JOT week 12 - Enjoy Life

:D Hi there! I've been off, enjoying life too! The weather here has continued to be glorious and I'm spending every spare minute outside with the dog - either out walking in the forest or park, or at home in the garden. I don't know if you remember my "mindfulness re walking the dog" post ...

JOT Week 10 & 11 - The Brain - Nourishing and Protecting It

I've opened a combined Week 10 and 11 JOT thread here, as we got slightly out of sync and seeing as Week 10 and 11 are both about "the brain", it seemed like a viable option.

Hope that's okay for everyone!

Re: JOT week 9 - befriending the body

Hey all, I am living in Germany these days, and we've been blessed with some uncharacteristically charming and splendid weather. Seeing as Week 10 and 11 are both "brain based" shall we just start a new combined thread for that? In fact, I think I'll do it now, in the hope that that's a pr...

Re: JOT week 9 - befriending the body

Yikes, I'm still being slack, as regards the JOT tasks... Don't even know what this week's (week 10's) exercise is, off hand. Something to do with the brain... (If this week is the one about "nourishing" your brain, then I'm doing well, cos I've eaten very healthily this week...) I don't k...
