Setting your direction for 2026? Here’s a helpful tip

Eve from Eve Rudkin Mindfulness

Hi Neighbours, If you find it’s hard to keep to New Year resolutions you are not alone! Its actually really hard to make sustainable changes in our lives.
Setting your ‘compass’ is easier and more effective. Starting with one small step in the desired destination, taking that first step gets you going. Even a little change of direction, something that only takes a couple of minutes, can lead to significant and sustainable change over time.

If you want to move in the direction of finding more peace and calm in your life, have you considered mindfulness?

You could try it out with our small group for a mindfulness session of ease and peace to soothe body and mind . The session includes gentle movement and relaxing simple meditation. come and soothe body and mind

Next one is on Monday 19th Jan 1.30 - 2.45pm, Meadowbank Community Centre. Come and see what it is like! Contact me - the first session free, then Koha welcome. 021 255 1485
Ongoing on the 3rd Monday of the month.
