At Work: When Kindness Isn't There

Sometimes the hardest moments at work aren’t about deadlines or pressure — they’re about how it feels to be treated. When warmth is missing, our nervous system notices.

This short practice invites you to return to your breath, offer yourself gentle compassion, and create the warmth you crave from within. Even in cold spaces, kindness can begin with you — steady, quiet, and real.

Thank you Reuben for another supportive way to handle what life throws at us. Wishing you and yours a very happy holiday and all the best in the new year 🙏🏻

"I love and approve of myself.
I give to myself what this person cannot give me."

Like the shorter version I have listened to this many times.
Practising being with the breathe is so important, so that when we find ourselves in an unkind situation anywhere, at work, at home or in the community., we are already forearmed, we have already put on our amour.
My phrase “ this is you” sums up to me that I am not at fault if someone is unkind and also it is an acceptance that the way the person acts is part of them, I can either accept that or decide not to.
I love that you teach that the breathe is so important and find it is slowly becoming a routine response to unkindness. It is self care as you say and protects me from being hurt.
Christmas can be a toxic time for many reasons and preparing, practising the breathe can make the difference between happiness and unhappiness.
Thank you Reuben
🙏

I loved it Reuben! Every bit of it gently bringing my focus to my breath and repeating the affirmation silently even once because it simply stayed in my mind. It was lovely Reuben so simple and soothing as you always do with all your offerings. Forever, Tanusree ❤️💕
