Where innovation and emerging technologies are the pulse of daily life, finding solace within oneself can often feel like a luxury. We are here to remind you that mindfulness is not a luxury but a vital tool, a guiding light that can elevate both your personal and professional endeavors. This month we are exploring the impact of mindfulness practices and offer practical insights on how to seamlessly integrate mindfulness into your vigorous personal and professional schedule. Join us as we embark on a path towards balance, finding strength, and clarity through mindfulness.
❣️Just a reminder, we are not mental health professionals – just your techie besties sharing what works for us! If you are experiencing any health issues or mental health crises in the workplace, please contact your People Team/HR or a mental health professional.

Affirmations for mindfulness
An affirmation is a positive statement you say or think that reinforces self-belief or personal goals. Research tells us that affirmations work because of neuroplasticity — the brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections in response to learning. You can change your brain by changing your thinking, which can support a more constructive mindset.
Take a few minutes, find a quiet place, and read or listen to this month's WWCode affirmations on mindfulness for diverse technologists.
