People leaders are no stranger to 'mind fullness'. Not only do they have their head crowded with their own issues, but usually there are a dozen or more team issues keeping their mind full also. A full mind leads to stresses in many forms. You might find yourself in a constant state of anxiety or 'fight or flight'. Always on the lookout for 'what's next?' because you know as soon as you clear one issue there are three more to follow. This in turn leads to poor decision making. You might also find yourself lacking in sleep or generally demotivated about work. And the worst case scenario is illness. While it may seem that mind fullness is an unavoidable of leadership, there is a better approach to take. Mindfulness. It may sound almost the same as mind fullness but the two states are very different. Mindfulness is a state of focus. Where you put your attention on the here and now, without judgement and deal with what is, rather than what else. When you are mindful you make smarter decisions. You are nimble and flexible. You respond to circumstances rather than react to them. And your actions have more impact because you make them with your full attention. You'll also improve your relationships, in and out of the workplace.
