Exhausted?
Hi Neighbours - I am hearing from many people saying they are exhausted at the end of 2024. It’s been a hard year for a lot of people. I hope you can find moments of peace in the runup to Christmas and the holiday season ☺
Mindfulness cultivates an attitude of being kind to ourselves, noticing and regulating our stress patterns, which helps to reduce the path from stress to exhaustion.
If you would be interested in that, join our friendly small Meadowbank Mindfulness group next year. The sessions include gentle movement and relaxing simple meditation, and often the option for a chat and a cuppa too. With me, Eve Rudkin, registered teacher of Mindfulness-Based Stress-Reduction

A tip for the Season Of Overwhelm
Hi Neighbours, are you feeling overwhelmed? Multi-tasking. Said yes too much? Or not saying no enough. Committing and then not getting as much done as expected. Too many things on the to-do list .... And now it’s the holiday season and everything is on turbo-charge!
Here’s one tip that can help move your attention for a moment’s break from all that over-thinking and relentless planning.
Use your body as a way of becoming present. Take advantage of short moments of waiting, or find a pause during the day to switch your attention to what you are feeling in your body at this moment.
Start by taking an intentional breath into your chest and down through your abdomen. Emphasize the exhale to get all the air out. From there, you might simply feel the weight and the connection of your body to the chair you’re sitting in or your feet to the ground.
If you would like to train your ability to cope with overwhelm, good-quality mindfulness training is proven to help.
