Concentration and Productivity for Your Day – A 5-Minute Yoga Routine for Focus
Hello sweet friend,
Welcome to Day 2 of the 5 in 5 Yoga Challenge. I'm so glad that you decided to join me again.
How was Day 1?
Did you find 5 minutes in your day to get on your mat, or at least pause and take a breath?
Day 2: Focus
Today, we dive into a theme that is essential for productivity and mindfulness: FOCUS.
In our busy lives, it's easy to get distracted and lose our center.
As someone who works from home and is a freelancer, unless I discipline myself to do the things, the things don’t get done.
We are inundated with stimuli to keep us small and stuck, and it takes true dedication and commitment to make choices that support your well-being instead of the quick release of dopamine that is social media or watching TV.
Have you tried hopping on your mat when you’re feeling scattered instead of opening Instagram?
Yoga has been one of the greatest and quickest tools to shift me from a distraction to action, meaning that it can help me get out of the monkey mind quickly, helping me focus and recognize my priorities.
What is your favorite tool to help you concentrate?
