But when things get tough, that\u2019s when your mindfulness practice actually shines. Here\u2019s how taking the time to ask yourself what\u2019s actually happening can make or break your work day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1) Things get hot in a meeting and emotions take over<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Response<\/strong>: If you ask yourself, \u201cWhat outcome do I truly want here?\u201d you may be able to see your true aim more clearly and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mindful.org\/how-to-mindfully-have-an-awkward-conversation\/\">defuse the excess emotion<\/a> that may be getting in the way. It\u2019s not about doing away with passion and emotion; it\u2019s about assessing how to spend the precious resource of your\u2014and everyone else\u2019s\u2014mental energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2) Distraction keeps you from accomplishing important things<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Response<\/strong>: When you have that feeling of being lost, you can inquire, \u201cWhere is the most important place for my focus and energy to be right now?\u201d To help promote deep focus, try creating a 90-minute block on your calendar (say in the form of a faux doctor\u2019s appointment)\u2014that is your untouchable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mindful.org\/take-back-your-time\/\">focus time<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3) A negative mindsets shut down situations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Response<\/strong>: Ask questions of yourself and others that lead to solutions or at least greater understanding, not blame and recrimination: \u201cWhat can we learn? What\u2019s possible here? What are our strengths? What can we build on? What can we leave behind?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4) You take over too much\u2014perhaps because you want to be the hero who fixes everything<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Response<\/strong>: This is a prescription for burning yourself out while undermining others\u2019 opportunities to learn and become empowered. You need to ask, \u201cWhy am I really doing this? Does \u2018helping\u2019 make me feel important?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may come to see that you\u2019re less overwhelmed and the team is more capable when you delegate authority to others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5) You regularly interrupt people<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Response<\/strong>: Oops! There goes that hair trigger again. See if you can use your bodily senses as an early warning system to interrupt hasty outbursts. Ask yourself, \u201cWhat happens in my body the moment before I interject?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See if you can step back and ride out the impulse to interrupt.<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mindfulness may seem like a luxury work perk, but in reality taking time to pause can make or break your work day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":179,"featured_media":50357,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[17599,17606,17612],"tags":[1018,849,17274],"departments":[],"issues":[],"coauthors":[967],"class_list":["post-36987","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mindfulness-for","category-stress-anxiety","category-work-career","tag-difficult-emotions","tag-habits","tag-premium"],"acf":[],"site_id":1,"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.5 (Yoast SEO v27.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Five Common Work Challenges Mindfulness Can Improve - Mindful<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Questions can be the key to successfully tackling work challenges.
