Being mindful brings intention and consciousness into your business. When you do, there is a letting go that happens. And with it, exponential expansion surely follows. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n As spring moves into full swing, we are reminded to adopt mindfulness practices to support us through the transition. For those in business, this also tends to be precisely when the heat gets turned up on the hustle. So if collapsing time while expanding exponentially sounds appealing, keep reading! <\/span> \u201cWith mindfulness, you can establish yourself in the present in order to touch the wonders of life that are available at that moment.\u201d – Thich Nhat Hanh<\/span> Breathwork literally refers to \u2018any type of breathing exercise or technique\u2019. It involves conscious interruption of the subconscious \u2018sympathetic\u2019 breathing patterns that many highly stressed women in business adopt.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cHealing dysregulation in your inner environment is the key to exponentially expanding\u201d<\/span>, shares <\/span>Karen Whelan<\/span><\/a>, who was recently featured in Thrive Global, Hollywood Digest, and Yahoo News for her work and wisdom in the world of Psychotherapy. She elaborates by adding: <\/span>\u201cBreathwork soothes our system to bring our bodies into relaxation, cultivating safety and grounding us. 5 rounds of inhaling and exhaling are all that’s required and can be done at a desk, in meetings, or even on a business call.\u201d<\/span> Set your timer on your phone for 5 minutes – yes that\u2019s right, start small and aim to WIN!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Imagine you’re breathing around the outside of a square, for gentle counts of 4.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Breathe in for a count of 4, hold at the top for 4, breathe out gently for 4 and then breathe in for 4, REPEATING THE PATTERN for 5 mins.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n #2 Ice Ice Baby.<\/span><\/p>\n Deepening your connection to the breath through ice or cold water submersion is a favorite mindfulness practice among some of the most influential Performance Mentors of our time. You may have heard of <\/span>Wim Hof<\/span>, better known as \u2018The IceMan\u2019, who brought the practice to mainstream society in recent years.<\/span> Through the power of the cold, your ability to be happier, stronger, and healthier is increased. Unsurprisingly, there is a direct correlation between happier and healthier CEOs and their ability to communicate more effectively, connect deeper and impact farther, which in turn directly influences higher levels of income. <\/span><\/p>\n Start small, a minute or two will suffice. Build confidence through consciously interrupting your breathing pattern, and controlling your breathing rhythm. Deepen your practice with the inclusion of cold showers as part of your morning routine.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n #3 Gratitude.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/span>Taking a step back from the somewhat extreme nature of ice- and cold-water submersion, the practice of Gratitude is an often overlooked Mindfulness-hack that can help anchor you back into the present moment. Studies have shown that gratitude expands our manifesting capabilities faster than any other practice.<\/span> Barbie includes the act of giving thanks first thing in the morning. She recommends that you do the same. As soon as your feet hit the ground, give thanks for waking up and being able to swing your feet onto the floor! <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
