MINDFULNESS

IN THE WORKPLACE
My personal
reflection
Explore - Play - Love!
www.amaranatho.com
In your business what causes 

you the most stress?
The National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health in the
US estimate that stress-related ailments cost companies about
$200 billion a year in increased absenteeism, tardiness, and
the loss of talented workers.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) in the UK, echo these
findings. In 2008/09 an estimated 415, 000 workers in Britain,
believed that they were experiencing work-related stress at a
level that was making them ill. The 2009 Psychosocial Working
Conditions (PWC) survey indicated that around 16.7% of all
working individuals thought their job was very or extremely
stressful.
The annual incidence of work-related mental health problems
in Britain in 2008 was approximately 5,126 new cases per
year. However, this almost certainly underestimates the true
incidence of these conditions in the British workforce. Estimates
indicate that self-reported work-related stress, depression or
anxiety accounted for an estimated 11.4 million lost working days
in Britain in 2008/09.
What is Mindfulness?!
Mindfulness is an attitude one takes
towards life by accepting the way
the present moment is. It allows us
to explore our thoughts, feeling,
senses, and emotions, noticing how
we may judge them, whilst not
reacting to those judgements. With
this quality of attention, we can
understand our stress, anxiety, pain
better and feel more alive,
responsive to the what life presents
to us.!
Optimum
learning takes
place with play
Vulnerability is our
most accurate
measure of courage!
Brene Brown
Courage - heart!
from the french cœur and the Italian word coure
What does
mindfulness
develop?
Your Presents make a difference
Embodiment
Emotional literacy improves
relationships, creates loving
possibilities between people,
makes co-operative work
possible, and facilitates the
feeling of community.[2]
More present workforce
Improved wellbeing

(Baer, 2003; Chu, 2010; Shapiro & Schwartz, 2000)
