Increasing productivity in the workplace through the practice of meditation

Meditation helps us to focus the mind and eliminate distractions. We begin the practice with breathing exercises to calm the mind and relax, increasing mindfulness, guiding through visualizations or simply being in silence. 

Meditation is recognized as a practical tool that increases mental clarity and emotional balance.

Numerous studies have shown that meditation positively affects the brain. 

Regular practice can improve mood, the ability to concentrate and reduce stress levels. 

It has also been shown to reduce the size of the amygdala, also known as the fear center in the brain, helping us to respond more calmly to general levels of anxiety, stress and fear.

• Reduces stress and burnout

• Increases Emotional Intelligence

• Increases Creativity and Problem Solving

• Increases Resilience and Adaptability

Meditation helps us deal with constant change and setbacks more effectively, allowing us to recover quickly and maintain stable performance under pressure.

At Avila Spaces, we have our weekly meditation session, on Wednesdays in Parque das Nações and Thursdays in the Atrium. Come and join us.

You may not notice the benefits of the practice immediately, but with commitment, you will begin to notice a change in your well-being and work routine.

Join us for this weekly practice.

In conclusion, let's look at the practice of meditation as an investment in mental performance and well-being in the workplace. 

By integrating meditation into the work routine, both individually and at an organizational level, we can experience increased productivity, improved self-esteem, and a more focused and innovative work environment.
