In the last year or so I've noticed that on good days I work in a state of flow. I'm calm and focused on what I'm doing and the work feels very natural. The main distinction between this and the state I usually work in is a lack of what I can only describe as "watching behind my back." Not literally but a sense of hyper vigilance as if I'm going to miss out on something. I don't have many words to describe this sense other than it feels good and I like to work this way. Feels almost like a way of praying. Thanks for bringing this topic up!

A great post to remind us to breathe along with our daily tasks on hand. I can relate to the fact that I often forget to breathe as I get more "into" the task I am rushing to complete. Blessings! Hi!

A great post to remind us to breathe along with our daily tasks on hand. I can relate to the fact that I often forget to breathe as I get more “into” the task I am rushing to complete.

We can set an alarm or use cues in our environment to mentally step back and check our emotional and physical states. If we’re worried and tense, say, we can briefly take corrective measures.

We have to keep checking in to see what is REALLY happening. Sometimes we get so robotic and lose touch and sometimes we just drift off elsewhere when we should be here. This technique has helped me re-adjust, relax and take a breath. On the flipside it's probably saved my life or prevented serious injury on many an occasion when I've been using dangerous equipment or driving, and I should have been here but I was there. Many accidents, much stress and unhappiness, and even death can be prevented by checking in with ourselves and cultivating our awareness. This simple technique can be life changing. Thanks for sharing it, Adam. Thanks Adam, excellent article!

Clark's latest post? (http://successfromthenest.com/content/eternal-playlist-of-the-successful-mind/#more-214) It's about taking time to relive past successes to revitalize ourselves. It ties right in with your awareness breaks. As you know, I think the easiest way to keep ourselves working is to love what we're doing. For me reconnecting with my enthusiasm is the best way to overcome procrastination. I'm a certified practitioner of NLP (neurolinguistic programming), and Tony's post is the most down-to-earth and powerful description of some of those techniques I have ever read.

I am one of those freaks who has to feel the load to feel fulfilled at work. This article is a life saver. I have found that those little moments of being aware of oneself really is helpful to keep focus on whatever it is one is currently working on. Right now, I am spending my awareness moment on your blog. Is there any better way to use it. :) Thanks man. Cool helpful post. Adam,
