Work Makes Me Less Conscious

[Vercingetorix]

@ElenaO if you would be 100% sincere at work, and continue to do the same work, would you still feel that it lowers your consciousness?

You think it's the work itself, or all the psychological/ego/social aspects/pressure?

In fact, I am not even sure how could I be sincere with those around me. How do you explain someone that they aren't doing things right in your opinion?

It's a combination: people who have different values, social pressure and the work might be not as fun as I think it could be.

@ElenaO maybe something like " are you sure this is best way to do this? in my opinion/experience it's better done this way".  

It's true that it's tricky to be sincere without bringing the ego/judgment to the equation, but it can be learnt with experience. 

I also work in a place that everyone look at me like I'm an alien when I mention meditation, but still when I say what I think, even if everyone laughts at me or think I'm crazy, I'm not withholding what I wanna say and it makes me free so much that I don't really care about others opinions.
