Meditation saved the meeting12 minutes to recover from the "big head"I had just assumed my first leadership position, with
two teams to manage, each with different
objectives, different clients, places and everything. I was having a
hard time to deal with all that new information and things to do. One day, a Friday, I had a 3.5 hour meeting in the
morning, and there would be another one with the other clients, at 4
o'clock. At 3, my head was “crowded” with a lot of subjects, things
to do and decisions to make, and the only thing I could think about was
that if I stayed that way, it would be very difficult to finish that day
and, worst, something wrong could happen in the second meeting. “I
have to do something”, I thought. I remembered the attentive
meditation and decided to try it. I went a little early to the place
of the second meeting, parked the car and started to pay attention to my
breathing. So I stayed for up to 10 minutes, plus 2 or 3 trying nothing. When I got out of the car, I almost couldn’t
believe: my mind was almost normal and I had recovered, I estimated,
about 90% in 12 minutes. The meeting and the rest of the day were saved
and safe. V. V. Vilela Editor
