Office Blackout Mood Sesion

MentalHealth installment 2: Last month, I create different "mood scenes" in my office. The one in this video is "Blackout." After lunch and again after work, I set this scene and work through a Fitbit (now part of Google) "Mindfulness" session (https://blog.fitbit.com/mindfulness-tools/). It's been a great use of 5 to 15 minutes to recenter, move my mind back into the present and get back to work.

I'd love to hear what nutty tactics you use for mental healing ❤️‍🩹 and recovery.

About the Author

Charles Herring

Charles Herring

Co-founder & Chairman, WitFoo

I started WitFoo in 2016 to make information and operations shareable across the craft of cybersecurity — between companies, law enforcement, national security and insurers, who mostly cannot see what each other sees. Before that I was at Lancope and Cisco, and I began in 2002 as Network Security Officer for the Naval Postgraduate School.

I lead research and development on a platform that ingests trillions of messages a day across hundreds of clusters. It is sold as Conductor, Reporter and Analytics, licensed flat per appliance with unlimited data — because a team charged by the gigabyte ends up making coverage decisions on a spreadsheet, months before the incident that needed the logs they dropped.

Everything here is mine, not the company's, and it wanders. Corrections are genuinely welcome — I would rather be right than consistent.

I read the sources, I check the claims, and I take full responsibility for what I publish here. The views are my own and the writing is my intellectual property.
