Chef preparing food in an outdoor kitchen.

To conclude this series, my final message to you is that balance does not come from yoga classes before service or from drinking turmeric lattes. As valuable as they might be to your wellbeing.

Conversely, this means that balance can be accessible to you, even if you do not have the time or resources to enjoy the latest wellness trends.

What really helps is to find balance moment-to-moment. Of course, this is not easy. It takes a great amount of self-awareness too.

It is much easier to feel calm, relaxed and present on the yoga mat than in the world out there. And of course, some of that calm might stay with you for a while afterwards. But this is far less easy to sustain.

Now, being able to access that feeling of balance whenever you need it – think of how valuable that would be! Especially in service professions like ours, where we are constantly being pushed and pulled in so many directions?

This is what I teach in my workshops for Hospitality teams (email me for details). After all, the power is in each and every one of us. Not in the yoga class or the turmeric latte or whatever the wellness flavour of the month might be.
