Increase Concentration and Creativity among your Team!

-
In the corporate world, we hear more and more about Mindfulness, but how exactly can these techniques increase work efficiency?
Numerous studies acknowledge that Mindfulness has multiple benefits, including a better stress management, reduction of chronic pain and increasing level of communication, attention span and efficiency.
Furthermore, mindfulness can improve concentration, refine intuition and creativity, and promote a dynamic and constructive attitude towards changes. 

 Here’s a good way for your employees to adapt to the challenges facing the company, isn’t it?

What is Mindfulness?

 

Mindfulness is the basic human ability to be fully present, to know where we are physically and emotionally, to control what we do and to easily manage what is happening around us.

How does Mindfulness work?


It only takes a few minutes to realize that our thoughts are mostly associated with our past experiences or with worries about the future, leaving aside the most important: the present moment. In 2005, the National Science Foundation published an article stating that on average, a human being has between 12 000 and 15 000 thoughts every day. Of these thoughts, 90% are repetitive and 80% are negative. That is considerable! It’s in our interests to learn how to manage what is going on in our head!
Cultivating mindfulness allows to be fully in the present moment, which allow the space needed in your head to deactivate the auto pilot mode. By being more aware of the reaction modes and options available, we can adequately choose between many options and avenues to manage what is in front of us.    
Like a muscle, we can improve concentration and creativity by practicing simple and efficient exercises. Remember that in order to get the most out of your practice, you have to fully invest yourself in the process. No runner ran their first marathon without previous training!

The Effects and Powers of Gratitude on Physical, Mental and Emotional Well-being

Did you know that we tend to perceive the negative before the positive? This is called negative bias.  Indeed, our brain will always tend to remember more negative moments than positive ones, and this is in general and on a daily basis as well.  Gratitude therefore allows us to neutralize this negative bias as much as possible. It has been proven by neuroscience that practicing gratitude is directly related to good physical, mental and emotional health. The daily practice of gratitude allows us to somehow reconcile ourselves with life. It helps us to direct our attention to happy elements, and therefore, it somehow diverts our attention from the less joyful elements and the things that we might feel we miss in our life. Over the past ten years, several researchers have worked to create a roadmap or guide related to the search for happiness.  According to their studies, they suggest that 40% of our happiness is determined by our daily activities and not by our genes or other fa

Au-delà du développement du savoir-faire, certaines entreprises choisissent d’intégrer à leur ADN le développement du savoir-être, spécifiquement les notions de compassion et de bienveillance. Ces notions permettent de créer des liens humains plus forts et plus harmonieux. Mais quels avantages auriez-vous à reproduire ces efforts dans votre milieu de travail ? Compassion & relations Des chercheurs se sont penchés sur la pratique de la compassion et ont démontré que ce sentiment transforme notre perception des autres et de nous-mêmes, tout en nous invitant à revoir notre conception du bonheur.
