We all experience a lot of stress in our lives that can be particularly constricting to our productivity and potentially, and to our next promotion.
How often have you sat at your desk, trying to be creative or efficient, but found yourself staring blankly at a flashing line on the computer screen? The mental blocks that we encounter day after day are a product of our brains trying to process too many different things at once; better known as stress.

A method that you may not have originally considered helpful for you to climb up the corporate ladder is meditation.
Meditation practices are techniques that encourage and develop concentration, clarity, emotional positivity, and composure. Aren’t these all valuable aspects for trying to move up the corporate ladder?
Whether it is transcendental, chakra, zen, azem… meditation can seem way too left of field, too difficult, and time consuming. That is quite understandable. After all, how is one supposed to sit quietly and think of nothing for something to break up your lunch period, especially when there is a promotion to be had?!
Recent research has shown that meditation allows for the brain to process more cognitive and emotional information, providing it with greater freedom to think outside the square.
Perhaps we are simply re-affirming centuries old Buddhist beliefs!
The solution?
Taking five minutes to calm your breathing and clear your mind of any trivial concerns allows you to open up your mind to focus on the task at hand. This can simply be achieved by closing your eyes and focusing on three deep breaths. Or by taking a simple bathroom break or a short walk outside to help clear your mind from the fogginess.
Some simple meditation can help you start the day with clarity and freedom for creativity. You might just find that work life becomes a lot easier and that corporate ladder becomes that much shorter!
