Office life can be pretty loud. Phones are ringing, people talking, and the constant "ping" of new messages. By lunch, your brain can feel like it’s been through a blender! Taking a 10 minute meditation break might feel like you are "slacking off," but it actually makes you more productive. When you give your brain a rest, you can focus better when you get back to work.

You can even do quick mindfulness exercises without leaving your chair. Try this: name five things you can see, four things you can touch, three things you can hear, two things you can smell, and one thing you can taste. It sounds silly, but it pulls you out of your "stress cloud" and back into the real world.

MyNirvan has special sessions made for people at work. They are short, they are simple, and they don't require you to close your eyes if you don't want to. It’s just about hitting the pause button. When you take that little break, you find that you don't get as frustrated with coworkers or overwhelmed by your inbox. It makes the whole day feel a lot shorter and a lot less stressful. You deserve a ten-minute vacation for your mind!
