#98: Micro-charging

 🌅 A BRIEF MEDITATION

You're standing on the edge of this brook in Valendas, Switzerland.

As this natural spring bubbles, it brings fresh water to the surface.

What if everyone can tap into their own internal wellspring of energy?

Just as this natural spring stays afloat, you can sustain your focus by continuously reconnecting with the immediate environment.

Renewal doesn't require large, dramatic breaks but can be small bursts of "micro-charging" throughout the day. You refresh with each pause.

⚡️ MANTRA BREAKDOWN

When it comes to working productively, most of us have been conditioned to believe that it's normal to feel drained or exhausted – a battery blinking red by day's end.

A "high-performance" day equals an all-or-nothing sprint.

If that doesn't work for you, there's an alternative. 

Consider "micro-charging," the concept of restoring energy and focus through small, frequent bursts of brief pauses.

What if tapping into a "burst" of energy was as simple as taking a mindful breath?

Inhale. Exhale.

Picture your immediate environment as an unlimited charging station, where engaging your senses plugs you directly into an ever-present power source.

A mere inhale and exhale transform into a moment of energy renewal. Your breath and general body awareness become the channel to your vitality.

How might this way of working change your moment-to-moment experience?
