Actual mindfulness is not about numbing yourself to annoying conditions or subservience. It is, for me at least, the exact opposite. It makes me more secure and firm in grounding, allowing me to better question authority in my mind, see things for what they are beyond the surface level knee jerk reactions, it gives space to break out of the "fire!!" mentality, see the work in context or what else is also important etc. Now, of course it depends on what they sell under the label of mindfulness. You can slap that label on any kool-aid cult indoctrination if you want. Not any session where people tell you how to use your mind will be beneficial for sure.
