Imposter Syndrome or Systemic Racism at Work?
I am fascinated by the concept of imposter syndrome. I frequently do meditations on combating imposter syndrome and took an Insight Timer course on overcoming it. This concept was introduced in 1978 in an article titled “The Imposter Phenomenon in High Achieving Women: Dynamics and Therapeutic Intervention” by Pauline R. Clance and Suzanne A. Imes. Imposter syndrome refers to people who doubt their achievements, despite being accomplished. There is a real fear that they will be found out as a fraud and their achievements were based on luck and not hard work and skill.

Mindful Minute: Take the Scenic Route
By Heidi Weaver
“Scenic Route.” Do you ever see those signs on the side of the highway and think to yourself, “I wonder where that road goes? I wish I had time to take the off ramp and find out. How fun and exciting would that be?” Time being the ultimate luxury, I can count on very few fingers the times in my life when I have spontaneously changed course and taken the scenic route. Recently though I have discovered that it only takes a couple of minutes to incorporate “scenic routes” into my day and in so doing to add a lot of sensory enjoyment to my workaday life.

Mindful Minute: A Meditation Practice Even Navy SEALs Use
By Amy J. Lepine
Do you ever feel disconnected or wish you could relate to people on a deeper level? Tonglen could be the answer. This ancient Tibetan practice in compassion breaks down the barriers of separation and allows us to share more readily in both the sorrow and the joy of others around us. And you don’t have to sit on a cushion or light any incense to do it. In fact, it can be done “on the street.” Literally translated to mean taking and sending, this practice focuses on breathing in the pain and suffering of others and breathing out relief, healing whatever is needed in the moment.

Mindful Minute: The Balance of Gratitude
By Pauline Villanueva
’Tis the season to give thanks, count our blessings, and remember all the things we have to be grateful for. For some, this is a welcome reminder; for others, it is a challenge. Worse, it can make some of us feel resentful, as if we’re being pressured to feel “grateful” while simultaneously being forced to acknowledge our struggles.
