Now that the weekend’s over and things have calmed down a bit, the Neighbourly Team are keen to hear from you: how are you feeling about it all?
Summer’s coming, and holidays are on the horizon … should we be focusing on the future rather than the past quarter? Or is this dip in the road a real concern?

Hi Neighbours - If you feel like you are always rushing, that is something Mindfulness can help with. One of my clients says that rush was her constant state before she started practicing mindfulness.

One of my clients says that rush was her constant state before she started practicing mindfulness.
Mindfulness trains us to paying attention to the present moment, with an attitude of ease rather than self-pressure. This protects us from this constant state of feeling we have to be rushing to the next thing. It helps us manage the racing, repetitive, and non-productive thoughts that lead to stress, and cultivate the state of calm that is the antidote to rushing.
Try noticing what is making you rush – it might be interesting!

New Zealand has among the highest proportions of threatened or at-risk species in the world, and around 25 million native birds are killed by introduced predators every year. But it's not all bad news - when predators are removed or controlled, nature bounces back fast. We’ve already seen it happening in many parts of the country!
People all over Aotearoa are doing their bit - setting traps in their backyards, planting natives, volunteering, or donating. You can too! Backyard trapping is one example of effective individual action.
What do you think? Can we reach our Predator Free target in 2050?
