Not every day in Aotearoa is made for being outside 🌿

When weather or time gets in the way, slow, immersive nature through your screen can still support wellbeing.

We’re often taught to wait for sunshine to feel better - but wellbeing isn’t limited to blue skies ☁️🌧️

In this article, we explore why wellbeing isn’t limited to sunshine - and share simple, practical ways to work with imperfect weather rather than against it.

What if it's not about finding more nature - but noticing what's already there?

You don't need a forest or a beach. Street trees, backyard birds, the patch of grass you walk past everyday.
All of it counts.

Read more about finding nature's mental health benefits right where you are 🌱

Recent extreme weather has had a real impact across Aotearoa. Many people are dealing with difficult emotions, stress, and overwhelm after disaster, often while still showing up for others.

Thanks Forbes for the feature and deep dive on Groov, our workplace platform and wellbeing partnership with New Zealand Rugby.

"With Groov’s platform, offices around the world are being given the tools to help their workers feel good, function better and maintain happy and healthy lifestyles.

“With the All Blacks looking to lift a fourth Rugby World Cup by the end of October, there is no better moment for the two organizations to raise awareness about a proactive approach to mental wellbeing. The two organizations will benefit from mutual collaboration, putting mental performance at the forefront in business and in sports.

Groov is teaming up with New Zealand Rugby as its official wellbeing partner - helping highlight mental health on and off the field.

We've reached the last day of Mental Health Awareness Week's Five Ways, Five Days theme, and for the fifth Way to wellbeing we're focusing on Keep Learning ❤️

Keeping your brain active and learning is great for your mental health and a fantastic way to keep mental health front of mind all year round.

Give these Keep Learning activities a go today:

🎥 Attend our Groov Live webinar with Jase Te Patu and Dr Fiona Crichton.

🤓 Take a course. Whether it's cooking, pottery or career development, trying your hand at something different is a great thing to do to engage your brain.

🧩 Take small breaks to do some puzzles. Traditional puzzles, crosswords, sudoku, and riddles are all great ways to exercise the mind.
