Focus your awareness on what you’re doing in this moment – reading these words, the feel of your fingers resting on the keyboard, the support of your chair.
You have just engaged in a moment of mindfulness – a practice Anthicha Kunsorn (Nuch) devotes much of her life to.
As the volunteer Ford mindfulness ambassador for Thailand, Nuch has led meditation and mindfulness sessions for Thailand (AAT/FTM/BKK) every week for almost two years. But she started with herself, beginning her own meditation practice when she was in her 20s and earning her meditation teaching diploma in 2016.
“I love to help my Ford colleagues as much as I can to motivate people to practice and understand the helpful of mindfulness and meditation,” she said.
Nuch’s mindfulness practice is beneficial not just in her personal life, but in her daily role on the IMG Regional Transportation management team.
She said meditation and mindfulness help you to develop focus, acceptance, resilience and happiness through wisdom. “Being present is most essential to everyone. You can make decisions without being fearful of the future or regretful about the past,” Nuch said.
It’s also important, she said, not to cling to anything, because everything changes constantly.
These are wise words for our automotive business, which is changing more rapidly than at any time in its history.
“I believe that practicing mindfulness can help the world be more peaceful,” Nuch said. "The planet does not need more successful people. The planet desperately needs more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers and those who radiate love, like the Dalai Lama.”
Her parents have been her biggest inspiration.
“My mother is a teacher and dedicated to helping people, and she teaches her students to be good people,” Nuch said. “My parents love me and my sisters a lot. They are very patient and taught me be a good person.”
Nuch said she is very thankful for Ford’s dedication to mindfulness and helping employees improve themselves.
“I am proud to work at Ford, and I am grateful to Bill Ford who wishes people around the world happiness,” Nuch said. “I have a passion to spread mindfulness and meditation, and I wish everyone happiness in every moment.”
