Research has shown that mindfulness practices such as the Body Scan activity can help improve team productivity and cooperation. Mindfulness is the practice of paying attention to the present moment without judgment. 

Practicing in the workplace can reduce stress, increase focus, and improve communication and collaboration among team members. The Body Scan activity is a simple but effective way to incorporate mindfulness into team meetings and promote well-being and team bonding.

A study published in the Journal of Occupational Health Psychology found that mindfulness-based interventions in the workplace can improve job performance, reduce stress, and increase job satisfaction.

Harvard Business Review reported that mindfulness practices can improve focus and decision-making, as well as better communication and collaboration among team members. By incorporating mindfulness practices like the Body Scan activity into team meetings, teams can experience these benefits and ultimately become more productive and efficient.

The Body Scan activity encourages team members to connect with their emotions and reflect on their physical sensations. By focusing on their bodies and tuning into their thoughts and feelings, team members can become more self-aware and better able to communicate their needs and concerns to their colleagues.

Practicing mindfulness with a body scan can improve collaboration, problem-solving, and a more positive and supportive team environment. Ultimately, by promoting well-being and team bonding, the Body Scan activity can help teams become more productive and successful in achieving their goals.
