Happy Mindful Mondays!
Today’s Mindful Monday email is about mindfully sending emails and texts. I know I’ve hit “reply all” on accident, forwarded an email without thinking if it was true, necessary or kind; and have sent texts to the wrong person. I’ve also been on the receiving end of these emails and texts, which leads me to believe that we’ve all done this to some extent. So with that in mind, I’m sharing “Five Steps to be More Mindful with Email”, from Mind body Green written by Wendy Kuhn.
“Here are five easy steps to practicing mindful emailing:
1. Take a deep breath, or give yourself a few moments to collect your thoughts before you hit reply.
2. Visualize the person to whom you are sending the email.
3. Get clear on why you are sending the email.
4. Ask yourself if it is a true, necessary and kind response, and if email is the best way to deliver the message.
5. Shut down your email when you are involved in other activities, whether it is talking to your significant other, eating, talking on the phone, or just being in the moment, and always two hours before you go to bed for a better night’s rest.
