The question of "pride" in relation to the employee/employer relationship comes up a lot in internal surveys, in my experience. This paper seems to seek to take a fairly technical approach to understanding the importance and impact.

It does raise the more general question though: what does it really mean to be proud of your employer?

Mindfulness can be a useful tool, and is rightly suggested as a tool in the toolbox of good mental health. But like all tools it can have its problems if not used correctly.

To quote form the start of the article:

"Mindfulness is thought to have multiple benefits – but it can also make you less likely to feel guilty about wrongdoing and derail your moral compass."

So many of the comments in this thread really hit home, and put into words my experiences, in ways I'd never be able to. I really wish I had the ability to explain like this.

What's really helpful here is it's healing to see people talk about exactly the things I went through. It's sort of reassuring to know you're not alone, you didn't imagine it, that it really did happen.

Not my normal kind of read as I don't generally go in for this sort of blog; but this particular post does do a good job of describing how I tend to approach simple but important things that need doing on a daily or weekly basis.

Doing things is easy, starting doing them can be hard -- especially really useful things like meal prep, general housework, exercise, etc.
