Mindfulness Q&A with Valentino Longo

FOH: What is your name?

Valentino: Valentino Longo

FOH: Your current job title and place of business?

Valentino: Head Bartender /Founder Shōshin Art Club

FOH: How do you define mindfulness?

Valentino: Understanding my priorities

FOH: How does mindfulness play a part in your everyday life?

Valentino: Without mindfulness I`m not able to achieve what I want to achieve , little things such as going to the gym for 30 min or meditating for 30 min really help me to being in peace and more focus in what I`m doing.

FOH: There are so many kinds of wellness- physical, mental, environmental, spiritual. Which of these resonates the most with you and why?

Valentino: I truly believe for me ,having time for myself, is essential for achieving more results at work. Sometimes it does take me longer to achieve what I want to achieve but without having time for myself I wouldn't be able to achieve at all.

FOH: Who provides you with inspiration when it comes to living life mindfully?

Valentino: I don't have a particular person, but I`m very open for feedback, I am lucky to be surrounded with people that aren't scared to say what they think and sometimes these feedbacks help me to realize that I need time for myself and I just need to go for a day at the beach.
