Mindfulness & Wellness!
Life in the hospitality industry is tough, but rewarding work. We spend so much time caring and preparing for others, that it’s easy to forget to pay the same attention to ourselves. Whether you’re on the front lines of the kitchen and dining room, caring for guests as a housekeeper, or carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders as a manager, it’s essential to take the time to check in and pay attention to your mental well-being. We recognize with unpredictable shifts, long hours, and infrequent breaks, it can be difficult to find time to take care of ourselves. We’ve spent time searching for mindfulness and wellness practices that can fit into a busy, on-the-go lifestyle. We’re constantly searching for apps, practices, techniques, and products that will help hospitality workers thrive in their roles and we will update this page regularly as we come across them!
Be Present, Wherever You Happen To Be!
“We can talk about mindfulness or write at length about it, but to truly understand mindfulness, we have to experience it directly.”
—Ronald D. Siegel, Christopher K. Germer, & Andrew Olendzki, 2009.
