Poll: Space or the Ocean — Where should our focus be? ☄️🌊

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Neighbourly team has been diving into a big question: should our curiosity take us up into space or down into the ocean?

It’s wild to think that more people have walked on the Moon than have reached the deepest point of the sea. Why is that?

Hey neighbours!

Here’s a fun one — the same material NASA created to cushion astronauts in space is now helping Kiwis get their best sleep ever.

It’s called Tempur, and it’s not your average mattress. The TEMPUR® material gently adapts to your body, easing pressure points and giving you that “floating on air” kind of comfort.

We’ve put together a simple guide to help you find the perfect one for your sleep style. Check them out here: beds4u.co.nz...

So if you’ve been mattress-hunting, maybe it’s time to check out the brand that started in space. Pop into your nearest Beds4U store and feel the Tempur difference for yourself — your back (and your dreams) will thank you.

Hi Neighbours - If you feel like you can easily get swamped or snowed under, that is something Mindfulness can help with.

My clients report that practicing mindfulness helps them feel they can cope better with stressful situations, feeling less overwhelmed.

Mindfulness trains us to paying attention to the present moment, which creates space to observe your thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them.

I run sessions on the third Monday of each month at Meadowbank Community Centre, 1.30, 75 mins
The session includes gentle movement and relaxing simple meditation.
Contact me - the first session free, then Koha welcome. 021 255 1485
