Downsize to a richer, happier life

Malvina Major Retirement Village

What do you want to do with your life? Would you like to travel, downsize, have more money and more free time? Do you ever feel like your stuff holds you back, but the thought of decluttering just seems too hard? If so, you’re not alone.

What do you want to do with your life? Would you like to travel, downsize, have more money and more free time? Do you ever feel like your stuff holds you back, but the thought of decluttering just seems too hard? If so, you’re not alone.

This is the first of a series of articles dedicated to helping you to downsize, declutter and rightsize your life, brought to you by Ryman Healthcare in conjunction with decluttering expert Peter Walsh.
When helping people to declutter, Peter never starts by focusing on the stuff itself. Every item in your home has a story, so the first step is to think about what that story is.

Maybe you’re thinking about downsizing as you approach retirement but still have all the artwork and toys and books that belonged to your now adult children, and don’t know what to do with them. Perhaps letting go of that old sports equipment means letting go of a vision you had of yourself that no longer fits who you are. Maybe you’re holding onto heirlooms you have no use for because you want to keep the memory of the person alive.

No matter what your situation is, it’s easier to declutter and downsize if you start by identifying the feelings that underlie your attachment to your stuff before tackling the stuff itself.

In a presentation few could not possibly be disinterested in,
Professor Richard Stubbs spoke about a business known as
P3 Research which has the goal of contributing to the
improvement of health outcomes for their participants and
future generations by providing independent and accurate
clinical research with integrity and professionalism.
This statement of the organisation’s mission and goal hides a fascinating story of how Richard left a career
as a surgeon to establish a business undertaking clinical trials in New Zealand. The key message was how
much effort goes into the integrity of the trial outcomes but above all else how important the safety of the
participants is.
Trials for new pharmaceuticals are a critical step in the very expensive process of achieving acceptance for
these products which may change peoples lives for the better.
Participation is a way of helping long-term the long term while perhaps helping yourself along the way.
If you are interested follow on Facebook www.facebook.com... or website
www.p3research.co.nz...
The presentation went way past time and at the end the questions continued to flow reflecting the interest in
the presentation of which I have captured but a modest part.

Besides his role as Chairperson of the Parole Board, Sir Ron currently presides on the Courts of Appeal in Vanuatu, Solomon Islands and Pitcairn Islands.
In his talk Sir Ron will talk about the current statistics in crime and who are and for what are offenders punished for in New Zealand. Finally, he will discuss how parole works and why we should be bothered trying to rehabilitate offenders.
The evening starts at 6pm on Tuesday 28th
November, at the Mana Cruising Club.
The cost is $30 per person, including the dinner.
