Feeling overwhelmed? You’re not alone.

Work can be challenging to navigate, and toxic or unhealthy environments are even more challenging to navigate. These moments of feeling anxious, exhausted, frustrated, hopeless, and undervalued are why we need support systems like #BeMindfulAtWork.

#BeMindfulAtWork isn’t just about meditation and deep breathing (although those are great too)! It’s about breaking the silence and showing you that we’re not alone in this experience. Together, let’s empower ourselves with a community of support and tools you need to navigate those tough moments and create a better workday for yourself and others. This community believes in:

  • Openly sharing our struggles: Expressing our feelings, venting about challenges, and connecting with others who understand.
  • Finding helpful resources: Discovering practical tips, mindfulness exercises, and strategies to manage stress, enhance resilience and a growth mindset, and navigate demanding situations.
  • Build a sense of community: Connecting with like-minded individuals who are committed to fostering a more mindful and supportive work environment.

Here are some ways to participate safely:

  • Focus on relatable experiences: Share stories with respect and kindness that highlight common workplace challenges without disclosing excessively personal details.
  • Express our emotions: It’s okay to feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or even burnt out. Sharing these feelings can be a form of self-care and can help others feel less alone.
  • Seek professional help: If you’re struggling with significant emotional distress, we encourage you to reach out to a trusted friend, family member, therapist, or any mental health professional.

#BeMindfulAtWork ISN’T the sole solution to systemic workplace issues, nor can we replace the support of a qualified professional. However, we can provide tools for individuals to manage challenges, advocate for change, and support others with a community that understands.

Join the movement and Share your experiences, tips, and resources with the hashtag #BeMindfulAtWork. Let’s ignite a global conversation and learn how to make mindful, inclusive, and successful workplaces the new normal.

Together, we can create positive and transformative change!
