We got talking about the power of nature — green spaces like parks, bush walks, or even just sitting under a tree, and blue spaces like the ocean, lakes, or rivers. Research agrees: being in nature really does help calm the mind. We’re lucky here in Aotearoa to have such beautiful spots right on our doorstep!
But sometimes, getting out for a walk or escaping to the beach isn’t an option. So we’re curious...
We want to know: What do you do to find a moment of calm when life gets a bit too much?
A hot cuppa? A good playlist? Staring out the window?
Let us know ... your go-to might help someone else breathe a little easier, too.
An unusual request please !, for the Tauranga area. My husband has a CPAP unit and wears a CPAP mask for Sleep Apnea, and his mask has broken. Does anyone have a mask they now don't use which we could get ?. It is an older mask – a Fisher and Paykel Healthcare Flexifit 431 ( the number… View moreAn unusual request please !, for the Tauranga area. My husband has a CPAP unit and wears a CPAP mask for Sleep Apnea, and his mask has broken. Does anyone have a mask they now don't use which we could get ?. It is an older mask – a Fisher and Paykel Healthcare Flexifit 431 ( the number is IMPORTANT) with black headpiece bands. New ones DO NOT suit for his sore head, if anyone has a MASK they no longer need – that would be MAGIC please. Bev on 0274756029.
Yesterday was my special day, and I tried to be happy, but life had different plans.
I had an accident, my only car was damaged, I have no job, and I feel alone.

I had an accident, my only car was damaged, I have no job, and I feel alone.
Usually, I try to stay positive, but life hit me harder this time and blocked all opportunities. Still, I’m hoping things will get better, and I’ll make sure to smile and find little moments of happiness.

Restructure.

A scary word that can make people uneasy—and for good reason. According to The Post, more than a third of New Zealand’s public services have recently faced it.
But why is restructuring the go-to strategy for driving change?
In The Post’s article 'Reaching for change: Is our public service obsessed with restructuring?', doctoral candidate Annika Naschitzki from Victoria University is trying to understand repetitive restructuring.
New Zealand’s public service is often seen as risk-averse, slow-moving, and stuck. But interviewed staff indicate that they want change, that change is needed ... just not through restructuring.
Naschitzki doesn’t mince words: “We always have the same issues, but we keep trying to fix the same problem with the same hammer we've been using for decades.”
Are we leaning too heavily on structural change when real transformation might lie elsewhere? Perhaps through training, resourcing, tools, and practice, as Naschitzki suggests.
What do you think?
Is restructuring the right tool for meaningful change, or just a habit we can’t seem to break?
If you are wary of restructuring, how can we do better?
