As leaders, we seldom have enough time to take a breath, relax and center ourselves. Maybe it\u2019s because we think it takes days or even hours to clear our minds and refocus, but that\u2019s not the case. My wife and I have recently been exploring Buddhism. We are not at the point where we are ready to give up all our worldly possessions and meditate longer than a few minutes a day, but we have been doing some preliminary reading on the topic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite our interest, we have failed to devote any significant amount of time to learn more about the subject. This lack of effort is mainly due to a lack of time between family and work. However, I recently discovered a podcast that I could fit into my busy schedule, called the Buddhist Bootcamp. The Buddhist Bootcamp<\/a> is about a five-minute podcast that focuses on a different topic each day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The purpose is to provide a Buddhism concept that will teach and help center and focus the mind. After a few days of listening to the podcast, I began to see the benefit of taking a couple of minutes before starting the workday to relax and clear your mind. I\u2019m not promoting Buddhism; it could be your 5-minute cooldown after your morning workout or quick prayer time, depending on your religion, but whatever method you chose, take a couple of minutes before work to clear your mind. You will be better prepared to take on the challenges of the workday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Why you need to center yourself?
