Set your week off to the right start, where you are more productive, creative, focused and calm. Give yourself more time to focus on the things that really matter to you.

Since lock-down for many of us the word noise has taken on a whole new meaning. More urgent deadlines, more uncertainty, juggling home-schooling, supporting our communities, super-market runs and queues to navigate, back to back virtual meetings, long hours at the laptop - the list goes on.

Neuro-science has shown time and time again that silence resets our nervous system to help us manage our energy levels, resilience and creativity. It’s where we have our best ideas and find solutions to those problems. How many of you have had that eureka moment when brushing your teeth or washing up?

  • Duke University recently found in periods of silence we generate new cells in the brain linked to learning and memory.

  • Luciano Bernardi, a renowned professor of internal medicine discovered that the gap in between relaxing music was more beneficial to the heart and respiratory systems than the relaxing music itself!

Follow these 3 simple steps to include quiet time in your day:-

  1. Go for a walk outside in nature and observe the things around you;

  2. Pause between meetings - if you set meetings to be 45 minutes instead of an hour then you can get time back to incorporate a pause for breathing or mindfulness, and avoid the stress of back to back meetings;

  3. Social media detox - log off social media, TV, email. Be curious about what effects this has on you and how you feel.

Schedule quiet time into your day. Sign up for Mindfulness Monday to practise the techniques that your body and mind are craving.
