This is so true. Several years ago I was badly bullied at work by the owner of the company I worked for. My boss also promoted someone over me whom I had confided in, but who had secretly been passing on all that I told him to her. They would be on my back every day at work, and it made me feel so angry and bitter inside that I worried that it might make me physically ill.
I actively looked for ways to help me counter these attacks in a positive way, and I found out that there was a Buddhist center just a few minutes walk away from my workplace. They held 30-minute lunchtime meditation sessions. I started going there regularly with a friend. I would go in feeling angry and twisted inside, and come out feeling happy, relaxed and refreshed. Honestly, I think it saved my life!

I can honestly relate to so much of what you are saying. And, the way you dealt with it. We can't control what others will say or do but we can control how we react to it. And, that is exactly what you did with going for those 30 min meditation sessions. Meditation is an amazing way to calm yourself down, and refresh yourselves from all the negativity around you.
I practice meditation one hour every morning and it had an amazing effect on my life. The way I think of things, and perceive things in life. Meditation is a big part of my life, and the person I am today. :)
I am glad to hear you are finding your peace in spite of a bad working environment. You are stronger than you think. :)
Thank you for sharing your life thoughts with me. I truly enjoyed reading it. Have the best day ever. :)
Thankyou! One hour of meditation each day! I definitely need to get back to meditating – I've let it slide recently. And it is so powerful.
It truly is and you should definitely get back to it. It can be life changing. :)
I will try to :)
