Naenae Cafe

Lynley from Waiwhetu

I am a regular at the new Naenae cafe on the corner of Everest Ave and Hilary Court opposite the swimming pool. I love that place and obviously others do too...see the comment below. The coffee is always superb and the staff really friendly.

I am a regular at the new Naenae cafe on the corner of Everest Ave and Hilary Court opposite the swimming pool. I love that place and obviously others do too...see the comment below. The coffee is always superb and the staff really friendly.

What really impresses me is that it has been set up to help ex-prisoners from Arohata assimilate back into the community by getting them working. It is a wonderful initiative and really well done.

I am writing this because they deserve to be patronised. Please note I don't think they are open in the weekend, definitely not on Sunday, not sure about Saturday. Pay them a visit and see for yourself.

3 self-trust growth tips

Ann from Relationship Wellbeing Specialist

“The person you need to trust first is yourself. No one can be as consistently supportive of you as you can learn to be. Being kind to yourself increases self-confidence and lessens your need for approval.

No one can be as consistently supportive of you as you can learn to be. Being kind to yourself increases self-confidence and lessens your need for approval. Loving and caring for yourself not only increases self-trust, but it also deepens your connection with others.”

Self-trust means that you can take care of your needs and safety. It means you trust yourself to survive situations and practice kindness, not perfection. It means you refuse to give up on yourself.
In The Courage to Trust lists other components that encompass self-trust. They include: being aware of your thoughts and feelings and expressing them; following your personal standards and ethical code; knowing when you need to care for yourself first; knowing you can survive mistakes, get up and try again; and pursuing what you want without stopping or limiting others.
If you don’t do these things, you’re not alone. None of us was taught to trust as children. Instead, we were taught to be dependent. Maybe you had parents, family, friends or mentors who modelled trust and gave you positive messages about yourself.
Maybe you didn’t. But whether you had this or not, you can learn to trust yourself. Trust as a skill all of us can learn.

However, critics say they’re dangerous and people are injured by them every year. Fans, on the other hand, argue that all fun involves some level of risk, it just needs to be managed safely.

Last year, we saw a 23% drop in the number of fireworks-related injury claims (171 claims across 2017 versus 223 across 2016). What do you think? Should personal fireworks be banned? Click here for advice on how to use fireworks responsibly.
