Suggestions of mindfulness techniques for each work situation

Challenging situation	Examples of mindfulness techniquesa	Reason to engage in the technique
Not being able to stop thinking about work	•Body scan •Grounding exercise	By anchoring one's attention to the present moment, it will be easier to stop thinking about work issues that happened in the past or worry about work problems that could potentially happen in the future. In addition, these techniques allow one to see situations in a more objective manner, and consequently become less caught up in repetitive negative thoughts.
Feeling easily distracted while working	•Pay attention to the breath •Grounding exercise	By anchoring one's attention to the present moment, as well as identifying, without judgement, the events that are happening in one's surroundings, one will likely become less reactive to distractions and less emotionally involved with them.
Feeling Zoom or screen fatigue	•Mindful check-in •3-minute Breathing Space •Mindfulness meditation	These techniques allow one to become aware of signs of fatigue, thereby improving one's ability to self-regulate. Engaging in longer mindfulness meditation periods is also a way to recover from fatigue.
