Re: Bad people

I still struggle with accepting this even with mindfulness. The trick he pulled not only wasted 50-60 hours of my time, it was a distraction that led to 3-4 months of unemployment (long story) and put me off that type of workwhich is essential in my field. A family member was going through a very to...

Re: Bad people

Thanks everyone for your replies. It is just hard to understand why someone would be so selfish. They would not have lost anything and considering the significant amount of work I did for free I don't see why anyone would see it as such as big deal. I would never have done that to anyone, there just...

Bad people

Hello I was wondering how people use mindfulness to help them with feelings of anger towards those who have wronged you. Basically someone misled me into doing his work for him for free.

Re: How to stay mindful when you hate your day job?

Thank you both for your advice. I would love to sign up to an eight week course but there is not one close to me and I don't have car for transport. I am trying to self teach mindfulness but its hard when I have to face hours of a course I hate everyday. I guess it just takes time.

How to stay mindful when you hate your day job?

I am a student who has been studying medicine for the past 5 years. I hate the degree, and the thought of working. I chose to do it when I was 17, only thinking about money and making my parents happy, I had a lot of mental struggles back then too. I actually love design and art and wanted to be an ...
