Welcome to Santa Clara Meditation! Starting a new corporate career is an exciting milestone, but it also brings a unique set of challenges. From managing workplace stress to navigating new relationships and overcoming the pressure to perform, the transition can be overwhelming. How can new hires set themselves up for long-term happiness and success? In this post, we look at the inspiring story of new employees from the Korea Securities Finance Corporation who visited the Ma-eum Su-ryun (mind subtraction) Main Center. Discover three essential reasons why incorporating meditation into your daily routine is the ultimate secret to thriving in corporate life.
On the 20th, the Ma-eum Su-ryun Main Center was filled with the fresh, youthful energy of 15 new employees from the Korea Securities Finance Corporation.
So, we prepared this: Tips for thriving in your corporate lifeβ3 reasons why new employees absolutely must meditate!
1. Forget the past β You succeed when you let go of your “reward mentality.”
βDid I go through all that suffering just to make copies?β
You might suddenly choke up in front of the copy machine as the moments you fiercely fought through to get hired flash by your eyes like a kaleidoscope.
If you only expect to be compensated for your past efforts, you might become an outcast who fails to earn the love of your colleagues and seniors.
Regardless of what you were like in the past, if you empty out your past self and become someone who knows how to be grateful for the present without expecting a reward, wouldn’t everyone love a person like that? Even if you didn’t particularly stand out at the company talent show.
The colleague sitting next to you doesn’t know how much you suffered. Nobody knows. (And it’s no secret that you weren’t the only one who suffered, either!)
2. Interpersonal relationships improve as your “occupational disease” disappears.
A job where you have to constantly look at numbers. One day, you might find yourself viewing everything in your daily life purely as numbers. (Goosebumps!)
Before you get rejected on a blind date for unknowingly displaying your professional mindset, meditate in advance as a cure-all to eliminate this occupational disease.
3. Develop your potential by 200%!
As you navigate corporate life, you will encounter many versions of “yourself.”
Comparing yourself to the colleague next to you, you meet the “me who feels inadequate,” and when scolded by your team leader, you meet the “intimidated me.” Even if you read books and join English study groups, that “fear” always becomes you and chases you around.
If you part ways with that “me” through meditation and regain a relaxed mind, you will be able to trust yourself more and unleash 200% of your work capabilities!
A Word from a Senior
“In corporate life, meditation can be the best tool for self-development. As I practiced meditation to reflect on myself, I developed a habit of trying to change my own mind regarding the situation, rather than blaming the circumstances I was in.
Reflecting on myself and subtracting the fake minds that I believed were real seems to build the strength to accept reality. At the same time, my gratitude for my given conditions and the people around me grew.
I hope the new employees live happy lives both inside and outside the workplace. You’ve suffered and looked only straight ahead to get this job; from now on, I hope you put effort into being happy.” β Seo, 6 years of experience, HR Team at Korea Securities Finance Corporation
To the new employees of Korea Securities Finance Corporation, we fiercely congratulate you on your employment! We wish you continuous success and happiness moving forward! ^^
