The Benefits of Doodle Breaks' Workplace Mindfulness Exercises

  • Reduce Stress

    Doodling is a proven, highly accessible way to help the mind relax, so it can process and integrate information.

  • Drive Innovation

    Doodling helps connect seemingly disparate ideas and makes creativity come alive to fuel new ideas and innovation.

  • Manage Emotions

    Doodling is a safe method to process emotions, converting negative feelings into a neutral balance, without judgment.

  • Increase Attentiveness

    The act of doodling while listening tells the brain to pay attention, helping people recalling 29% more information!

  • Happiness Boost

    The opposite of play isn’t work, it’s depression. Playfulness in life, including work, increases satisfaction and purpose.

  • Improve Productivity

    Doodling is an easy way to focus the mind. In five minutes it can completely refuel much needed energy and a sense of clarity.

Meet Melissa

There was a time when I took pride in moving at the speed of light! Running professional creative businesses from BC to a design firm in London, UK. Before long it was Scotland, Australia and finally back home to the East Coast of Canada.

Unsurprisingly, one day my body and mind quit. Stress, anxiety, overall burnout, auto-pilot. Sound familiar? I vividly remember sitting at my dining room table wondering how to take a break. I started doodling circles, one doodle at a time. And I had no clue what would happen, but I had an incredible sense of calm. I felt, very much, a spark of joy! I hadn’t felt that in a while. I knew I had to follow that. How could doodling such a simple shape allow instant calm?

I followed that question to create Doodle Breaks!
