Published over 1 year ago • 1 min read

Hello Reader,

​

Unwind with the Practice of Meditation and Reflection

As a leader, it's important to establish the practice of relaxing, refreshing, and renewing through meditation and reflection. Slowing down and focusing on your inner thoughts and emotions can help reduce stress, increase self-awareness, and improve your decision-making skills.

Here are some ways you can incorporate meditation and reflection into your daily routine:

  1. Set aside time: Schedule a regular time for meditation and reflection.
  2. Find a quiet space: Choose a quiet space where you can meditate and reflect without distractions.
  3. Focus on breathing: Focus on your breath as you inhale and exhale. This helps calm your mind and reduce stress.
  4. Use guided meditations: Guided meditations can help you focus your thoughts and emotions. You can find guided meditations on various topics, such as stress reduction, gratitude, or self-awareness.
  5. Reflect on your day: Take time to reflect on your day and identify areas for improvement.
  6. Practice mindfulness: Practice mindfulness by focusing on the present moment without judgment. This helps you stay present and focused.

Incorporating meditation and reflection into your daily routine will help you become a more self-aware and effective leader. By relaxing, refreshing, and renewing your mind and body, you'll be better equipped to handle challenges and make sound decisions. So, take a few moments each day to meditate and reflect – your mind, body, and team will thank you.

It's important to take care of yourself so that you can take care of others. Incorporate these practices into your daily routine.

Hi Reader, Many years ago, I developed a quirky habit of writing an annual Fourth of July essay.

Below is this year's entry into the catalog. Beyond Myth: Reclaiming American Patriotism As we mark, acknowledge, and celebrate 249 years since the birth of the United States, it is right to recall that the Founding Fathers, those venerated...

Hello Reader, Why I’ve Been Focused on Anti-Authoritarianism (and Why You Should Be Too) For too long, the conversation around leadership has missed the mark.
