Welcome, and thank you for joining me today. I know this morning might feel like a whirlwind - emails piling up, meetings looming, and that persistent sense of being pulled in a thousand directions. Take a deep breath with me right now.

Let's pause and ground ourselves. Feel the chair beneath you, supporting your body. Your feet connected to the floor. Notice how your breath naturally moves through you - no need to change anything, just observe.

Today, we're exploring what I call the "anchor technique" for workplace focus. Imagine your attention is like a boat on a restless ocean of thoughts and distractions. An anchor provides stability, preventing you from drifting aimlessly.

Close your eyes if you're comfortable. Take three deliberate breaths. With each exhale, imagine releasing mental clutter - those swirling to-do lists, background anxieties, competing priorities. Your breath is a gentle wave, washing away tension.

Now, choose a single point of focus. This could be your breath entering and leaving your nostrils, the gentle rise and fall of your chest, or the sensation of your hands resting in your lap. When your mind wanders - and it will, because that's what minds do - simply notice without judgment and return to your anchor.

Think of this like training a puppy. When the puppy wanders, you don't scold. You gently guide it back. Same with your attention. Wandering is natural. Returning is the practice.

Set a soft internal timer. Even two minutes of this anchoring can reset your nervous system, sharpen your focus, and create space between stimulus and response.

As you return to your day, carry this sense of centered awareness. When you feel scattered, take three mindful breaths. Remember: you're not trying to eliminate distractions, but to develop a compassionate, responsive relationship with them.

Thank you for practicing with me today. If this resonated, please subscribe to Mindful at Work. Together, we're cultivating presence in a world that desperately needs it.
