Mindfulness helps manage the inner critic
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.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
