Lots of us in Melbourne are finding going for a walk isn’t as enjoyable anymore after going on so many over the various lockdowns. Try mixing things up a bit, change your route or find a piece of nature to explore. In taking a mindful walk find a different aspect to focus your attention on each time. Even though we are just into winter, there are still plenty of autumn colours to observe and enjoy. See what splashes of autumn colour you can find within your area 🌥🍂🌨

The summer holiday period can be very busy and may be a difficult time for many people for a variety of reasons. This may include a higher likelihood of triggers, dealing with family dynamics or the loss of a loved one. Remind yourself of the important elements of your routine and do not feel guilty if you need to take time out for yourself or decline an invitation. Consider the people you would like to surround yourself with over the holiday season and make time to connect with them.

Breakfast is important in maintaining your mood and providing your body with the energy it needs to start the day. It is best to eat breakfast within an hour of waking.

If you find it difficult to eat in the morning start off small and with a food that is easy to eat. Some people find fruit or yoghurt are easy breakfast meals. 🥣🍳🥞🍓🍎

The body and mind need to move over the day. With restrictions we are moving far less. Consider your daily exercise routine AND also your movement over the day. Stretching over the day helps to keep us interested, alert and motivated and also helps to relieve tension.
