Do you feel like you are always rushing?

Eve from Eve Rudkin Mindfulness

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.

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, and attending to important tasks in the right time, that is the antidote to rushing.

Try noticing what is making you rush – it might be interesting!

I run sessions on the third Monday of each month at Meadowbank Community Centre, 1.30.
The session includes gentle movement and relaxing simple meditation.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
