Making space for mindfulness in the food & beverage industry

Multi-tasking takes on a whole new meaning when you're working behind a bar, in a brewhouse, on a restaurant floor, or in a venue's kitchen or back office.

Not only are you juggling a broad range of physical duties, but you're also managing expectations, resolving issues, timekeeping, remembering requests, and interacting with a variety of personalities...all within the context of your own experience.

​

It's a lot for one mind to manage.

​

So we go on auto-pilot. And in doing so, we miss important cues that could help us respond rather than react in moments of high stress. Or we spiral into negative thought patterns, worrying about what could go wrong or ruminating on what already has. 

​

It's no wonder so many of us struggle with stress, anxiety, and depression. When our minds become disconnected from our bodies, they get, well, sorta fizzy. 

​

Through mindfulness, we can learn how to choose where and how we place our attention so that we can create space between all of those thought bubbles. Space to steady ourselves, to respond skillfully to stressful situations, and to allow our overwhelm to recede a bit.  

​

It might sound hard, but we call it a "practice" for a reason. Like any muscle, mindfulness can be strengthened. You just have to know what to do...and then you have to do it. Again and again and again. We can show you how.
