Mindfulness helps manage the inner critic

Eve from Eve Rudkin Mindfulness

Hi Neighbours,

Did you know that Mindfulness helps us observe thoughts and stress reactions in a way which reduces their power. It allows you to become aware of your self-critical thoughts, acknowledge them, and let them pass, rather than getting swept away by them.

If you are interested, you might want to join our small group for a session of ease and peace once a month. The session includes gentle movement and relaxing simple meditation.
Third Monday of the month – Not December but restarting January 19th. Meadowbank Community Centre - 1.30 - 2.45pm.

First session free, then Koha welcome.

Click Read More to find out more about what I do – I also offer one-on-one mental wellbeing sessions, courses for group bookings, and run a group for experienced meditators.

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Auckland has a thriving cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures across the country, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.

We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️

We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?

Keen to read more about "coffee math"? The Post has you covered.

Sleeper planter refurbishment.

Nick Jenness from Nick The Builder

Howdy Neighbours

We came across these newish treated pine sleepers from TrustWood Timbers. These sleepless are great for your vege planters and general planting as the treatment used is safe for all plants and does not leach into the soil. Unlike Mac sleepers they come with a 50 year guarantee so they will outlast the more traditional Mac sleepers. Very straight and diamentionaly correct so great to work with.
We have just completed this job in Parnell using these where we have swapped out the rotten Mac sleepers for new TrustWood Sleepers 👍
