As a nonprofit professional, you’re used to learning from others in the sector. For example, you might try a text-to-give campaign after witnessing another nonprofit’s success with that idea. But what about when it comes to alleviating workplace stress?

Although you’re working to further a good cause, that doesn’t mean you’re immune to the stress of being a working professional. However, stress and burnout are sorely overlooked issues in the nonprofit industry.

To mitigate stress in the workplace, look to the business world. From business marketing techniques to stress-relief strategies, you can glean many valuable insights from companies that apply to the nonprofit sector. For example, consider the idea of mindfulness and its rise within corporations.

This guide will cover the concept of mindfulness as a way for nonprofit professionals to relieve stress. We’ll discuss the basics of mindfulness and three tips for how to center mindfulness at work.
