Mindfulness Activities
Last year, we noticed a rise in Mindfulness Activities and the good news is, that they’re set to stick around for the foreseeable future! In today’s society, it’s all too easy to get caught up in a world of distractions, work and stress, and it can be tricky to try and find the time to slow down and simply just breathe.
Mindfulness can be described as “The mental state achieved by focusing on the present moment and being accepting and acknowledging the thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations experienced”, and is used as a therapeutic technique. Some of the activities available on Fizzbox are ideal for colleagues looking to try a mindfulness Manchester team building activity together. From yoga which is the perfect way to feel and notice the breath to a calming flower crown making activity that’s brilliant for slowing down and being present in the moment.
Mindfulness Activities are becoming more and more popular in the workplace, not only because of the mental health benefits, but also because they allow colleagues to try something new together and take some time out, away from the busy hustle and bustle of the workplace.
Why Fizzbox recommend a mindfulness activity:
“Life is so busy, and it’s hard to escape from the stresses we’re presented with on a daily basis. Mindfulness activities are so important for slowing down and just taking in that very moment. Flower arranging is fab as a mindfulness Nottingham team building activity, as it’s not only fun and therapeutic, but it allows you to focus on that moment. For example, what colour flowers are you arranging? Do the petals feel smooth to touch? Do the flowers smell sweet? Mindfulness is also about making the most of your senses and using them in the here and now – it’s also a great talking point before and after the activity!”
