In a recent TED video Andy Puddicombe, a former Buddhist monk, outlined his idea on how to refresh your mind that just takes 10 minutes every day.
The pace of modern business life has adversely affected our ability to focus on our current task and also increased stress levels that can be intolerable from time to time.
Puddicombe’s solution is very simple: DO NOTHING.
He recommends setting aside 10 minutes each day to calm your mind.
Practise observing thoughts and anxieties without passing judgment, just simply experience them.
Focus on the present moment and nothing else. This should help your mind to recalibrate.
