Before Work: A 3-Minute Morning Intention For Focus & Clarity

The working day can begin long before we consciously arrive in it. We wake up and almost immediately the mind starts travelling ahead: messages to answer, people to speak to, unfinished tasks, decisions, deadlines and all the small demands waiting for our attention. 

Before we have taken the first real step, we can already feel as though we are carrying the whole day.

This short meditation is designed to interrupt that momentum. Instead of beginning the day scattered across everything that might happen, it gives you a simple threshold between not working and beginning work.

It combines sound, movement, visualisation and intention around one specially designed vocal sound: TAALOM.

The aim isn't to empty your mind or manufacture a particular state. It is much simpler: arrive where you are, decide how you want to meet the day, recognise the first useful thing you need to do, and begin.

Listen To The Practice

Use this practice immediately before beginning work, opening your laptop, entering your workplace or starting the first important task of your day.
