Yoga Helps Me Focus
Michael Green does Bikram yoga to help him deal with stress. Have you discovered an activity that helps you focus and reduce stress at work?
Hi Michael:
Great article on CNNMoney (Sharpening business focus with yoga) on your Yoga practise. Nice change from the young female bendies you see on the cover of Yoga Journal. Thanks.
All the best
On the path to finding the humor in Yoga.
I enjoyed reading the Yoga Helps Me Focus article in Fortune-Small Business recently. Our company is building a nationwide network of yoga-centric wellness centers. We own three centers and have 2 affiliates and we are growing exponentially. We are also encountering the types of challenges one would expect in creating and developing a nationwide enterprise.
I have had a corporate flower service with my wife since 1981.
I am responding to the Small business magazine article on how we spend our time.
Every morning our staff drinks high end green tea( Ceremony) and we have a half hour of meditation.
Last year we spent months on studying the “SECRET” and how we could improve our Company.
Our company has shot up 40 % in revenue last year. We will go from a 575,000 company to we expect
Sales to reach 1,200,00 this year. The miracle of studying the secret and the laws of attraction is that we turned our company into
a hot Event company. We have turned most of our efforts into marketing this service. I now have three full time sales persons.
The name of the new company is Branch Event Concepts. Our web site should be finished in a few weeks.
We are now managing a half a million Event for a large Swedish Company.
I read the Bible. It always relaxes me. Like the other user I meditate on the word and it brings clarity and direction.

I've run 9 marathons so far. The lessons I've learned from focusing on the goal (getting to the Finish line) help me at work immensely. Traveling to the event and the people I've met along the way also make me more well-rounded.
I have a Bible reading routine called "lexio divina" where I take a short passage of scripture and meditate on it for several minutes. I use a guided reading program of Scripture using a book called "Solo". It takes me thru the text in 4 steps: read, think, pray, live.
As my life gets busier, it's imperative for me to step away to give time for inner reflection, to meditate on what I've read, and to listen closely and deeply to how Scripture is "reading" my life.

Staying in the Word is a wonderful way to get focused. We all need to take some time to take our minds off of all of our day to day problems and focus on what is important. Be it our relationship with God or our relationships with our family and friends, or yoga we all need something.
