How to flip your perspective and stay happy during your lockdown

Silke from Heart for Art

I've been through a few tough trials in my life and learnt that one of the best ways to get through is to flip your perspective and focus on the benefits of a situation rather than the negatives.
With the NZ lockdown there'll be loads of stuff we can't do anymore. But when we 'flip it' there’ll been tonnes of stuff we can now do that wasn’t possible before. Like having time to learn a new skill, (like painting 🎨), catching up on DIY projects, sleep-ins yay, more time with the kids, slow romantic walks (2m from anyone else) with your loved one, etc.

Take a moment to think about it … what are some things you’ll be able to do now?

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
