Simple mindfulness tip to destress
The single most valuable thing I can offer to people feeling stressed is the first principle of mindfulness practice, paying attention to your body with a friendly attitude.
For example, you might feel into the sensation of the soles of your feet as you stand, wait in a queue, walk on grass or sand. It can be as easy as that.
Being in the present moment like this creates a sense of stability, an anchor for ourselves that helps ease the mind and reduce chronic stress.
Come along to my free info session Monday December 7th 7pm in Remuera. Bring a friend, it is friendly and relaxed. Contact me or see the website below.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
