One of many positive side effects of mindfulness is that it expands our ability to reframe "difficult" situations that arise and experience them anew. This positive reframing is a key attribute of leadership. This series of videos will explore the possible ways that mindfulness can help you find more joy and energy in your work.
The core of many of our "problems" at work is a simple one: we feel insecure. At the root of insecurity is a fundamental feeling of incompleteness. We seek to "complete" ourselves and find comfort, stability, and confidence through our work (promotions, validation, compensation). Striving to solve an internal problem with external solutions creates a familiar tension, which we have many different names for ("burnout", "imposter syndrome", "existential dread", etc.).
Use the exercise below to begin resolving this tension.
