Working is stressful because I’m in a new working environment and I’m not sure if that’s what I want to be doing. I’m an admin in a corporate job. The culture is different, and it feels really stressful.

The Mirror Work Experiment was organized by Reconnect & Recharge, a wellness and self-care hub that empowers people to lead healthy wholesome and meaningful lives. Head over to this link to find out more about their work.
