@FromPhDtoLife The culture, lack of work life balance (especially on the tenure track), and barriers to relationships, having kids, working for very limited pay for very little odds of permanency, the list goes on. Definitely a “just because you can doesn’t mean you should” scenario for me.
@PhDancersTeapot The point of meditation isn’t stopping, quieting, or controlling thoughts - just being aware of them - so it sounds like you actually nailed it 🤭
