Wk 12 - Cultivate Habits of Inner Attention

Published about 2 months ago • 1 min read

Hello Reader,

Cultivate Habits of Inner Attention

As a leader, developing habits of inner attention can help you become more self-aware and effective in your role. By using your physical and mental senses to be aware of your physical, mental, and emotional sensations, you can better understand how you are feeling and how it may impact your decisions and interactions with others.

Here are some ways you can develop habits of inner attention:

  1. Notice physical sensations: Take notice of sensations such as muscle or stomach tension. This helps you identify when you are feeling stressed or anxious.
  2. Pay attention to your thoughts: Be aware of how they may impact your emotions. This helps you identify negative thought patterns and reframe them more positively.
  3. Take note of your emotions: Consider how they may impact your behavior. This will help you identify when you are angry or frustrated and take steps to manage those emotions more positively.
  4. Use visual cues: Use visual cues to remind yourself to be present and aware of your physical and emotional sensations. This could be something as simple as a post-it note on your desk or a reminder on your phone.

Developing habits of inner attention takes time and practice, but it can positively impact your leadership skills and overall well-being. By being more aware of your thoughts, feelings, and sensations, you can better understand yourself and others, make more informed decisions, and cultivate positive relationships with your team.
