SATYA: DESIGN

Observation

I feel irritated and frustrated at work and desire to feel more at ease during the workday.

Hypothesis

If I memorize the Gayatri Mantra and chant it for 15 minutes at the beginning of my day and at the end of my work day, then I will feel more at ease and less frustrated at the end of my work day.

Method

For one work week (5 days), I will chant the Gayatri Mantra for 15 minutes at the beginning of the work day and at the end of the work day for 15 minutes.  At the end of each day, I will reflect upon the day and provide one line to summarize my experience.
