Massive turnout for PM’s Jane Winstone meet and greet
An impromptu visit by Prime Minister Christopher Luxon to Ryman’s Jane Winstone Village in Whanganui on Wednesday resulted in the largest turnout from residents that the village had seen in a very long time.
Residents who packed out the lounge and waited patiently for a chance to meet the PM said they were ‘very impressed’ at Luxon’s determination to get around everyone who had turned out to see him – even as his team started to worry he would be late for his next engagement!

A tip for the Season Of Overwhelm
Hi Neighbours, are you feeling overwhelmed? Multi-tasking. Said yes too much? Or not saying no enough. Committing and then not getting as much done as expected. Too many things on the to-do list .... And now it’s the holiday season and everything is on turbo-charge!
Here’s one tip that can help move your attention for a moment’s break from all that over-thinking and relentless planning.
Use your body as a way of becoming present. Take advantage of short moments of waiting, or find a pause during the day to switch your attention to what you are feeling in your body at this moment.
Start by taking an intentional breath into your chest and down through your abdomen. Emphasize the exhale to get all the air out. From there, you might simply feel the weight and the connection of your body to the chair you’re sitting in or your feet to the ground.
If you would like to train your ability to cope with overwhelm, good-quality mindfulness training is proven to help.
