Today while walking in a near by park and flexing my aging body, I thought of “Art of Living”. Thought, I’ve never been to their classes, I know one thing they stress – how breathing affects your inner well-being. Well, I many be naive to put it this way, but that’s the only thing I know about this tribe.
Relax, Body and Mind with Right Breathing
Today, I was late to start my morning walk. It was around 7:45 and I finished my sweating biz by 8:45. And, while I was finishing my walk with simple relaxing walk, I looked around this deserted park. And, I thought to myself – where are the people? Well, answer is simple – most people don’t have the privilege like me to job or walk in the park by 8:45 in the morning. They have to get ready, have breakfast, and head to their office or cubicle. Before they reach, they have to nudge their way through this crazy traffic.
Imagine the bumper-to-bumper traffic or the bus ride through the heavy traffic junctions like Tin Factory or K.R Puram, or Hosur Road. Well, at this morning hour, there are thousands who are struck in these road, trying to reach office on time.
Whew! Office Desk is in Sight
Have you seen people who reach office after braving the traffic, summer heat and bus ride? Have you seen the relief on their faces? It’s definitely a BIG sigh!. And, then starts your daily work. Just imagine, if you’re working mostly for pay not for some driven motive or passion, how will you feel. The work will appear like a chore, to be pushed out from your desk to the next level and it goes on. Or think of the pending work, the unaccomplished target which your boss pushes on you, and all other stress in life.
So, my question is…how can your employer make things a bit easy on the employee?
Make every employee do Yoga or breathing exercise
This is my idea for today. It’s simple, and hopefully it will bring some kind of calmness or reduces stress faced by employees.
Start yoga sessions for employees. ( Not a very easy process, of finding time between meetings and deadline)
Make a room where employees can sit in peace. No noise, No Mobile Room
Pass a new rule that every employee should sit in the meditation room for 10 minutes, before occupying the office seat.
Teach breathing techniques and ensure that they practice it everyday in the office and home
Design the yoga room with plenty of green plants, with wood panels ( Avoid typical corporate feel inside this room)
What do you say? Will it work in a hectic corporate life? Will the management think of giving away 10 mins for this activity? How much will breathing exercise benefit employee’s
