BTW, these are only a few ideas. So no worries if, say, a nature walk isn't accessible for you, or the museum or a "change of scenery" isn't in your budget right now.

Mindfulness is no substitute for a unionised workplace. Nap rooms don’t prevent us from working overtime – rather, they help us to do so. Free therapy may make a round of layoffs less psychologically agonising, but it does not prevent them from happening. Individualised workplace mental health initiatives can help us weather the ravages of capitalism with a smile, but they cannot address the root causes of work-related anguish. They do not even begin to touch on the underlying principle that each person must work for a wage to survive; a ‘fact of life’ that normalises mass death and alienates us from its horror. Workplace mental health interventions also have no internal politics – therapy may help the worker manage their emotions around being fired, or it can help calm the conscience of the boss who is doing the firing. Given this ability to boost productivity and smooth over the emotions associated with exploitative practices, it is no wonder that mindfulness, for example, was imported to the US workplace by Apple CEO Steve Jobs; and continues to be favoured by union-busting CEOs, for both themselves and their employees.

How long can you be bored? How uncomfortable does boredom feel to you? Where do you find your mind draw to when you start to get bored? Let yourself feel bored, see how long it takes for you to progress past boredom and see what follows. Observe these shifts in yourself. Challenge yourself to continue for one more minute, one more page, or one more step than usual.

I’m so sick of being a fucking invisible after thought.

I was apart of a tasks at work that involved going above and beyond our positions for the betterment of the hospital. 2 other people who did this with me got acknowledged and I was not even fucking NOTICED. Thankfully one of them mentioned i was involved too. It’s not necessarily about the thank you, it’s the fact that I wasn’t noticed.

Time and time again I’m the second best, an after thought, an easily tossed away friend, coworker, and human. I’m NEVER ENOUGH.

Fucking hell.
