Meditation can yield some significant benefits for well-being and help with personal and professional development and maintenance. Technalink is a big advocate of meditation, having seen how it can help people at home and at work. However, one of the best things about meditation is the way it can be tuned to a personal sense of well-being.

One of the best ways to have a happy personal and professional life is to strike a good work-life balance. Technalink has always believed that meditation is one technique that can be used both at work and at home to achieve this state better. But why? Here are three of the many things meditation can do to help achieve a healthy work-life balance.

Self-improvement is crucial for success in life, whether that’s emotional, psychological, spiritual, and especially professional. At Technalink, we constantly strive to improve our business as a whole and the people who make up that business; it’s just part of our DNA.

You start your day in the morning and your morning routine is what frames your entire mindset whether you know it or not. For instance, if you’re running late in the morning, you skip breakfast, you hit a traffic jam, and you find urgent e-mails in your inbox as soon as you get to the office, you’re probably going to feel frazzled and anxious for the rest of the day. When we begin our day in a mindful way, you can better expect the rest of the day to follow suit as well.

During the early portion of the pandemic in 2020 most professionals believed that remote work was going to be a temporary thing that lasted a couple of weeks to a couple of months at most. As the seriousness of the event set in, it became evident that remote work was going to be something we’d be navigating together for quite a bit longer than originally anticipated. However, a year later, we’re getting ready to return back to in-office work after we’ve grown accustomed to the new routine of working from home.

A recent study performed by the American Psychological Association has found that as many as 50% of Americans are feeling some type of anxiety when it comes to reentering a post-pandemic world. It makes sense – after a year spent away from one another, spending a great deal of time at home, and away from social interaction, the idea of closeness and connection feels foreign to many. What if you’ve forgotten how to interact socially? What if all the sound and excitement is overwhelming? While these anxieties seem strange, it’s important to remember that they are normal and there are ways you can ease yourself back in to enjoying social life once again.

The workspace you create will have a big impact on the day you have. Scent and color are two ways you can really transform your workplace into one that is encouraging to your compassionate leadership goals. Scented oils and Rudraksha mala prayer beads help to work on the scent you bring into your office, but color should be a main focus as well. Choosing the wrong colors can cloud your judgement, lead to aggression, and even make your compassionate leadership goals more difficult to achieve.

Loose meditation stones provide a ton of benefit to your meditation sessions. You can keep a bevy of different loose stones in your collection so you have a stone for every mantra, every mood, and every goal you need to meditate on. To use your loose stones, simply hold them in your hand, feel their energy moving from the stone to your palm, and practice your mantras or affirmations at the same time.
