Random Acts of Kindness – August 1st to 31st
All it takes is a kind gesture to change someone’s day. From giving flowers to a neighbour ‘just because’ to paying it forward in line at a cafe - this month we’re encouraging our members and supporters to make New Zealand a better place one random act of kindness at a time.
The options for doing so are endless! Being kind doesn’t have to cost a thing, after all a smile is free.
For those who want to go the extra mile, here’s some other ideas:
* take a gift over to new neighbours and introduce yourself,
* build a free community library for your street,
* buy extra kai at the grocery store to donate to a food bank,
* bring treats into work for colleagues,
* send an encouraging text to someone who needs it,
* let a car into the traffic ahead of you,
* write positive messages in chalk on sidewalks around your neighbourhood,
* surprise loved ones with a visit.

Turn downsizing stress into strength
Downsizing can open the door to a new stage of your life that is rich in opportunity. However, it can be a daunting prospect. If you are embarking on a new chapter of life, the thought of shedding familiar possessions can feel even more stressful. This can be true even if the life changes are a good thing, such as a move to somewhere you will love to live.
Once you understand why you have this feeling, you can reframe it as creating a new environment that will support your present life while reminding you of your best experiences.
