Understanding Common Hindrances to Work Achievement: Effective Strategies for Overcoming Hindrances in the Workplace
If we are experiencing difficulties within our personal or work life, some strategies can be helpful to practise regularly. These may enable us to overcome some of the suffering we may be going through. Mindfulness can be beneficial. If we can focus on our breathing, rather than our thoughts. This may uplift us from our usual “conditioned” pattern of thinking. For example, we may be subconsciously following our parenting, and we can consciously choose our thoughts. We can also choose how to respond to other people in a more creative, positive way. Some people remember mindfulness as an awareness of our breath or reflecting on the breathe.
Similarly, yoga is a form of mindfulness. Adding stretches to our breathing to develop body awareness. Mudra is a type of yoga and mindfulness. Bringing peace or relaxation to our hands.
Further ways of rising above the stress we may face in day-to-day life can be reflecting on past successes and achievements. Having visual affirmations, especially if criticised, can boost our morale. We may choose up to three to ten words about what we like about ourselves. We can also focus on the qualities we hope to cultivate. Some people can think in pictures or video form. We could think about a TV programme we enjoyed and remember seeing those visions of the programme in our mind, or remember positive photographic imagery. Happy thoughts about what we enjoy doing, or who we love to be with, uplift us from the day-to-day humdrum of life.
