Past participant feedback:
The key takeaway from this experience for me is that I may not have control over my job situation, but I and only I alone have control over my life and no one else.
Remember to breathe deeply, be mindful of things that you love, nutrition/sleep/exercise depend on each other and your values will keep you grounded.
Decreased negativity in my own thinking and looking at situations from a different perspective that helped me deal with specific personal situations
The timing for this experience was ideal for me as I was just implementing some major changes in my life that included improving my self-care.
