Hi Whatsinaname,
I live in a state where there is a particular news outlet that is deplorable, and I gave up ever clicking on a headline of theirs ever again. Definitely no going back now!
You have mentioned that you enjoy meditating. I often listen to a variety of Podcasts on Spotify while I'm at the gym or cleaning around the house, so I'm sure you could get away with this at work (unless you can't wear headphones or airpods). But there is a particularly great podcast I listen to called 'The Way Out Is In'. It is hosted by two men, one is a Buddhist monk who was personal attendant to Thich Nhat Hanh, the great Zen Buddhist Master, and the other is a British fellow who lives next door to the monastery. Each episode delves into the various teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh, of which relates to the art of living, how to deal with suffering and how to nurture compassion for others. Every episode typically ends with a short guided meditation with a focus on breathing and attention to a certain topic.
I'm not a buddhist myself, but I enjoy learning about different ways to see the world & how to deal with my own suffering! 😂 The podcast started during the pandemic, so there are plenty of episodes to chew through. And I like how the episodes stay relevant to the modern world, rather than just listening to people waffle on about ancient wisdom.
Hope your meditating has been going well, great to hear you have been trying to get your family involved too.
