In the sweltering depths of the NYC subway, a rushing train brings a brief respite from the oppressive heat. But the relief is short-lived, and soon, the stifling air returns.
We seek similar reprieves at work—a coffee break, a quick scroll through social media, a water cooler chat—but these are temporary distractions from the underlying issues.
To find true comfort, we must confront the sources of our discomfort head-on. Band-aid solutions will not work in the long run.
