Thank you for joining us @janedoe2!

You are correct! Mindfullness is about being aware and present in the moment!

However sometimes at work this can be difficutl to achieve.

Mindfulness exerecises can be as short as you wish and it doesnt have to mean getting up from your desk either, which is ideal for you 

Minfulness activities can include:

• one minute of consiciously connecting with one of your senses - listening to your surroundings 
• working a little slower and being aware of the task at hand - really focusing in on what you're doing and why you are doing it 
• standing up and stretching - allowing for blood to flow and feeling refreshed 
• taking a moment to notice your surroundings - the colour of your pen or the items on your desk
• listening to the sound of your breathing 
• be a single-tasker (doesnt mean being unproductive) 
  • grouping things into categories such as email phone calls , errands and meetings 
  • switching off as many distractions as you can i.e. emails , mobile on silent etc. 

It is also very useful to set helpful to set up reminders in order to consistenly practice mindfulness.The reason you forget to be mindful is because your brain's norma mode is to be habitually lost in your own thoughts. 

Therefore by using some form of reminder you can be mindful again and these reminders should shake you out of auto-pilot mode:

• Setting an alarm on the phone 
• putting mindfulness in your calendar 
• small note or picture on your desk 
• associating certain activities with mindfulness such as meal times or when finishing on task and starting another

I hope my answers have given you some ideas and new forms of practicing mindfulness at work
