    • Effect on Emotions
      • Mindfulness has helped me pause before reacting. Instead of immediately responding, I now ask myself, “What’s going on with this person? Are they in pain? Is there something deeper behind their behavior?”

            • I want to tell the story of a workplace experience as an underrepresented minority. This person was consistently ignored during meetings.
            • Comments were overlooked, and when assignments were completed on time, they were unfairly criticized.
            • Despite raising concerns with management, support was not found. Peers began criticizing the work, and the employee was gradually marginalized.
            • The systemic bullying made the employee feel that continuing to work was futile.
