sad that we have to be reminded to take breaks but it is so true! thanks for these helpful tips!
For sure. It's really about being consistent with your mindful breaks so that they can make a lasting positive impact. Cheers!
These are great ideas. And they take only 5 minutes. You have to love that!
I love the idea of taking a break. We give kids breaks but tend to not take them ourselves, but this is so true.
Exactly! And just like kids who need breaks to restore their energy, we do, too! Cheers!
Yes, the mindful break is key! There are days where I feel as if I'm running in circles. Forcing myself to sit back and stop is so key!
It truly does make a difference to slow your mind down for a minute, doesn't it? Thanks so much for watching!
These tips couldn’t have come at a better time. I just got back from my vacation and on my first day back to work, I was swamped with sooo many tasks. Thank you for sharing
Ooh, where did you go for vacation?! I hear you on being swamped. Reminding yourself to be mindful can really help ease that stress. Thanks for watching, cheers!
I love focusing on "mindful observation" because I day gets crazy busy with people pulling on me from all directions. I am going to practice mindful drinking. that sounds excellent!
It is an excellent practice and you won't regret giving it a go! We all have hundreds of distractions in our day to day lives and I agree, we get pulled in so many different directions! That's why I firmly believe in the power of mindfulness. Cheers!
Super helpful tips right as i was having an overwhelming day. Thanks for the tips friend.
I'm so glad they came at a time when you needed them! I hope taking a mindful break or practicing some mindful exercises is truly helpful for you. Cheers!
Our minds always need a break. Stress is something we all need to let go of. Thanks for the advice
Love the idea of eating in 3s. I eat at my desk, and don't focus on it at all. I do take a walk during my lunch break though, which I find a great help
Taking a walk is a great way to take a mindful break. It's also a wonderful change from just sitting down all day. Are you going to try the mindful eating too? I'm glad you're getting some mindfulness in every day! Cheers!
@@AdrianaGirdler Not just going to try it, but tried it today! :D Actually quite enjoyed it, hoping to do it more frequently
I LOVE mindfulness - I could talk about it all day! This video was like candy for the soul - thank you for the great tips.
Thank YOU for watching! I could talk about mindfulness all day too - I absolutely love it! Cheers!
Mindfulness has been something I've been working on this past year and absolutely love your videos! It just helps make me in tune with myself and bring things back to center
For sure! So glad to hear that you've decided to work on mindfulness in your life. It's so beneficial for both your work life and your personal life. Both can get busy and overwhelming! Cheers!
Mindfulness is huge, Personally I use am very aware of how I use humor to maintain a healthy mindset and attitude, The other big one is music and prayer . Always solid stuff Adriana!
Humor is great - everyone loves a good laugh! I'm glad you have your own strategies for staying mindful that work for you. That's so important! Cheers!

Yes.. .maybe you have to take a deep breath! That is a better reminder than we think!!!! It's amazing what it can do! Drinking too..... aren't we amazing!!!!! I mean really... it's pretty cool that these things can make such a difference! We are friggin' amazing! ~Elizabeth :)
Elizabeth, it really is amazing what mindfulness can do! Thank you so much for watching and commenting. I'm glad mindfulness is a part of your life, and I agree with you, we ARE friggin' amazing! Cheers!
Love this. Some days when I don;t have time to mediate before I leave the house, I take 2 minutes to close my door and get in my zone so I can feel grounded and not overwhelmed before I start digging into the day's issues. xoxo
That's so amazing, thank you for sharing! Sometimes 2 minutes is all you need. Especially on those busy days when you're in 'work' mode but just don't have the time to meditate. It can always be done at work or on-the-go. Cheers!
Great video Adriana, really helpful mindfulness tips. Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome Adriana. My friend is a mindfulness coach. I’m really interested in mindful eating.
Yes I need mindfulness for the moment after I put the kids to sleep. I often want to reach for empty calories at that time but will try 3 mindfully!!
Thank you.
That's a great time to try mindful eating! When you have peace and quiet, if you're going to be eating anyways, you may as well incorporate some mindfulness. Thanks for watching, cheers!
Love this Adriana--Need to reduce my stress----Need to get more mindful---Love the tips😀
Thanks, Eli! Let me know how they work for you. You'll be less stressed in no time! Cheers!
really helpful, love this perspective! I never really get time to think about things like this at work so its a really helpful reminder :)
It's so important, even and especially during a busy workday. I'm so glad this video benefited you. Thanks for watching. Cheers!
I'm still looking for a new career! Hopefully I get a new one soon so I can practice these techniques!
I hope so, too! You could even practice these when you're working on something at home - for example, take a mindful break when you're working on a new CZcams video! Cheers!
Being reminded of this option is really comforting. It also applies to continuing to work at an organization that is toxic. These are excellent suggestions. My favorite is mindful eating. Have you ever looked at Conscious Eating from Gabriel Cousins (czcams.com/users/drgabrielcousensmd) It's a big book but is worth working through. The introduction was the first place I encountered the idea of mindful eating.
Yes, mindfulness is especially necessary in a toxic environment! Thank you so much for the recommendation. I love reading (especially reading about mindfulness) so I will have to check it out. I really appreciate your suggestion! Mindful eating has been a game changer for me, too. Glad to hear you're practicing mindfulness! Cheers!
Love these tips! The mindful drinking one is helpful because you can do it at any point during the day. Going to try it!
Thank you! Mindful drinking is convenient and it works. Let me know how it goes! Cheers!
Thanks for watching! Which mindfulness at work exercises will you use to help reduce your stress?
Things so naturally come in 3s - what a great tip!
Stretching a lot!
Thanks, glad you liked that one!
