Mindfulness has become a popular buzzword in the corporate world, with many companies incorporating it into their work culture as a way to improve employee well-being and increase productivity. For instance, a company like Google has incorporated awareness programs for their employees to promote their sense of value, resilience, positive emotions, serenity, and happiness. However, as mindfulness continues to grow in popularity, it’s important to consider what’s missing from its implementation in the workplace.
While mindfulness has many benefits, its application in the workplace is often limited and fails to address some of the deeper issues that can contribute to stress and burnout. In this blog, we’ll delve into what’s missing from mindfulness in the workplace and offer suggestions for how to create a more comprehensive approach to well-being at work.
Mindfulness is an important component of a comprehensive approach to well-being in the workplace, but it’s not enough on its own. To create a truly supportive work environment, companies must address the social and structural issues that contribute to stress and burnout and provide ongoing support for employee well-being. By prioritizing well-being and measuring the impact of well-being initiatives, companies can create a culture of well-being that benefits both employees and the bottom line.
Heartbreak doesn't just break your heart—it can shatter your sense of identity, peace, and purpose. Whether the end was expected or abrupt, mutual or one-sided, short-lived or long-term, the aftermath often leaves people emotionally disoriented. In Indian culture, where societal expectations and family involvement in romantic relationships are prevalent, the pain is not just personal—it is public. Yet, very few are taught how to heal from emotional loss in a healthy, sustainable way.
Gaslighting is a form of emotional abuse that erodes your ability to trust your own perception. It’s a slow, insidious process that often begins with subtle doubts and ends with complete self-questioning. In romantic relationships—especially in the Indian context where silence, compromise, and duty are often mistaken for love—gaslighting can be even harder to recognize.
Depression is not just an internal struggle—it ripples outward, affecting relationships, routines, and the emotional fabric that holds people together. When someone is dealing with depression, it's not only their world that becomes dim—it can cast a shadow over their most intimate connections too. In a country like India, where open conversations about mental health are still rare and love is often equated with endurance, depression within a relationship can become invisible, misunderstood, or misjudged.
Relationships are a beautiful blend of shared experiences, emotional growth, and mutual care. But they also come with challenges—especially when one partner is struggling with their mental health. In a society like India, where mental health is still heavily stigmatized, couples often find themselves ill-equipped to handle psychological distress in their relationship.
In the complex landscape of human relationships, silence can speak louder than words. One of the most common—yet least understood—forms of emotional response is the silent treatment. Whether it comes in the form of cold shoulders, unread messages, or days of unspoken tension, the silent treatment leaves behind a trail of confusion, hurt, and disconnection.
Communication is the lifeline of every meaningful relationship. Yet, in countless homes—particularly across India—couples, friends, and families frequently experience breakdowns not due to a lack of words, but because of a lack of listening. We often equate speaking with communicating and hearing with understanding. But true communication involves something far deeper: active, empathetic, and intentional listening.
