When we think about the value of
fitness, so often we focus on the physiological benefits; lower blood
pressure, reduced inflammation, a healthier heart and a more
attractive physical appearance.
However, over the past years, psychologists and social scientists have been researching the effects
that exercise can have on the mind, more specifically the way we
think.
Many studies now indicate mental
performance is inextricably linked to our physical training routines.
Nowhere is this finding more relevant than in the workplace.
Consider the following list of benefits that one can expect by
following the Nirvana® Breathing fitness System:
Improved concentration
Enhanced creativity
Lower stress
Enhanced learning
Greater resilience
Sharper memory
All of these benefits clearly have
massive implications on work performance. It’s also worth
mentioning that NirvanaFitness® also
improves mood among its practitioners, which equals to a more harmonious
and collaborative working environment.
An investment in workplace fitness
undoubtedly brings a very large return. Greater levels of mental
clarity and performance equal greater levels of innovation and
creativity, all of which are essential to give your business an edge
in a highly competitive marketplace.
Furthermore, a relaxed and happy
workforce is much less likely to fall ill and request a leave of
absence to recover. Fewer sick days equates to more full days of
productive work.
Research tells us that stress in the
workplace is on the up and more and more people are suffering from
stress related diseases and disorders. Indeed, almost 60% of losses
to the economy are due to stress related conditions that could have
been prevented through lifestyle adjustments.
Instead of viewing exercise as a
personal indulgence or something that staff should be treated to
every now and then, it’s time that we seriously start considering
the benefits that regular exercise can offer our employees.
The
alternative, which is an increasingly frustrated, slower thinking,
less creative and more irritable workforce makes us less effective at
our jobs and lowers overall productivity.
The unique holistic Nirvana® Breathing Fitness approach to corporate wellness not only allows organizations
to increase the health and happiness of their workers but it also
represents an investment that can reap massive returns over the long
term.
By showing individuals how to take charge of their health,
wellness and vitality, it empowers people and organizations to reach
new heights of performance one breath at a time!
