Commentary: What if mindfulness and meditation make us more selfish? – CNA

MINDFULNESS IN SECULAR SETTINGS

But in reality, there’s good reason to doubt that mindfulness, as practised in the US, would automatically lead to good outcomes.

In fact, it may do the opposite.

That’s because it’s been taken out of its context. Mindfulness developed as a part of Buddhism, where it’s intimately tied up with Buddhist spiritual teachings and morality.

Bumble (NASDAQ:BMBL) and Meta’s (NASDAQ:FB) Facebook might initially seem like very different companies.

Facebook, the world’s largest social network, connects 2.9 billion monthly active users (MAUs) to their coworkers, friends, and family each month.

But if we take a closer look, some similarities start to appear. Bumble’s BFF feature for platonic friendships is gradually evolving into a social network. During last quarter’s conference call, it teased the expansion of BFF into a “metaverse” for new user-created communities — whi…….

Cut loose! Why it’s time to throw off the shackles of athleisure – The Guardian

My fashion new year resolution is to cut myself some slack. To quit trying to be someone I’m not. So I am going to stop wearing things that make me feel bad about myself. As of today, it’s goodbye to clothes bought on their promise that they would transform me into a shinier, sleeker, optimised version of myself. It’s time to breathe a sigh of relief and get back to wearing what I feel comfortable in.
