Brandon Conrad Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Hello everyone - today is my first day of my mindfulness teaching training - and I am super stoked to join the community.  I work in retail and began using mindfulness about a year ago to help deal with the daily stress and anxiety that the job brings. Covid caused a lot of anxiety for individuals working in the service industry. I joined the program as mindfulness has impacted my life in such a positive way. I want to start teaching as a way of giving back to those working for me -and for those working in the retail world. Retail workers are stressed and burnt out, and I want to help them reconnect to themselves. I look forward to the journey ahead. I am nervous, excited, and ready to jump in! -Brandon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Gillian Florence Posted May 30 Administrators Share Posted May 30 Hi @Brandon Conrad! Welcome to the program and our community. Thanks for sharing a bit about yourself. I worked for many years in retail (and food service) and I know how stressful that environment can be. Mindfulness can certainly be a huge help. Reach out if you have any questions as you move through the materials. I'm here to help (part of Sean's support team). With gratitude, Gillian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
