Dream Boards

Dream Boards

Have you ever thought about what you want in the future?

Have you ever let your mind just wander unfiltered?

Have you ever dared to just imagine you were capable of anything?

Dream Boards allow you to do that.

Grab yourself a piece of cardboard that you like the colour of.

Have a whole array of magazines, articles, flyers, holiday brochures, house brochures, in fact anything that you can google that would inspire you to the future.

Cut these items out.

Remember to make up and print, or cut out inspiring words.

Dream Boards are personal to you, they are your dreams, no one elses, so no one else has a say in what goes on your dream board.

Dream Boards are wonderful for kids to make, try not to guide a child to your desired outcome, instead let them dream their dream.

Nautre, the best stress release

It is lovely to have had some nice weather.

The weather sure can have an impact on how we are feeling.

The nice weather generally makes us feel like we want to get out and about and do things.

Whether it be around our home or out and about visiting people and places.

Nature can offer one of the best stress releases.  To be able to STOP and look around, smell the aromas where we are, hear those noises that nature gives us. The smell of flower, the beauty of the nature around us, the sounds that nature gives us, the buzzing bee, the crashing of the waves on the beach.

Another wonderful stress release is called grounding, that is taking off your shoes and walking barefoot on the earth. This can be a wonderful sensation and can provide stress release.  Grounding or earthling has been around for centuries. We tend to put shoes on if the ground is wet, but to walk barefoot on the morning dew, or the grass that has been rained on, can help connect us back to the earth.

Most of us tend to think things in our life are stressful, and there are many fly by night potions and pills that can be sold to us to help us feel at peace.  Getting back to nature, and enjoying nature, stopping and slowing down, to notice how wonderful the world is and how while we are so busy, the grass is still growing, the clouds are still moving, the tide is going in and out.  Nature does this all effortlessly while sometimes we just get too busy to notice.

Enjoy the rest of the warmer weather, take care

The festive season is here..

Well, the festive season has arrived.

The shops are getting busier, people are more in a hurry, the roads are getting busier and life, in general, seems to be speeding up.

A key to not letting things get on top of you is preparation and communication.

What could you put in place now, so the next few weeks are easier?

Can someone help you out with anything you need to be done?

Plan and budget presents to stop overspending.

Try not to leave things until the last minute, because it just gets frantic all round.

Be realistic with your expectations of what you are wanting to achieve.

Make sure you make time for what is important to you.

Is there a neighbour or elderly person around you that could do with a visit?

We tend to run on a roller coaster at this time of year, so maybe stop, and get off, and make a plan.

What is important to you and what do you want to spend your time doing?

Have fun over the festive season, and take care.

Looking forward to an outstanding 2017.


Seasons Greetings from

Kim and the Team

Caring for the Caregiver

There is a huge amount of people in our community who are in a caregiving role.

It can be parents, foster parents, grandparents raising grandchildren, looking after ageing parents, looking after special needs children, dealing with sick family members and friends, people who do paid work in a caregiver role and many more.

As a caregiver, we tend to give a huge amount of ourselves to those who we care for.  Sometimes it can be a balancing act to look after our own families and care for others as well. 

Caregiving is a huge role, and such an important role in the health and mental well being of those who we love and those in our community.

The selfless role that caregivers take on often leaves the caregiver themselves feeling very depleted and worn out with no energy. It is so important to take time out for yourself if you are in one of these roles. 

Often people just keep on going until a crisis point comes about, and then decisions need to be made in haste and often made without feeling very resourceful.

It is so important to factor in time for yourself, time to get away and recharge your batteries.  Often if the caregiver can't keep doing what they are doing, there is such a huge domino effect and a negative spiral. 

The timeout can sometimes seem selfish, however, it is imperative if you are in an ongoing caregiving role.

If you are in a caregiving role, search out what resources our community has to offer to support you. Maybe start with a chat with the doctor.

Business Work/Life Balance

Work/Life Balance can be some what hard to acheive.

Over the years I have worked with many clients, and their businesses seem to rob them of the very life and freedom they are looking for.

Effective business plans and a clear understanding of where their business sits in the market place is key.

A bigger thing to understand, is themselves, how they tick.

I have been asked many times to work within a company.  The "Boss" points the finger to who they think is the problem.  The "Boss" points the finger to the one thing they think is the issue.

Unfortunately if The "Boss" doesnt want to undertsand how he/she ticks, then it becomes a pointless exercise.

The failure rate on businesses can be so high, I believe the success rate could be much higher if more thought and personal growth was a point to consider.

It is great to do SWAT anaylsis, business plans and projections, but if the person running the show doesnt under how he/she ticks, then there might be a few too many learning curves for the business to withstand.

Soul Food

So what is Soul Food?

And why do we need it?

We are all  unique as we all have different parents, upbringing, significant people around us, significant events and so on.

But as much as we are all so unique, we all have some very basic needs as humans. 

The obvious being, warmth, food, shelter, love and a sense of belonging.

Sometimes we forget about our very souls.

Who are we?

Sometimes we can go our whole lives wondering this very question.

Our souls are our very being, what does it take to make our heart sing?  What are our values and what is it we need to do to feel happy?

Soul Food is something we can do to nourish our being, to nourish what we are at our core.

Often soul food is simple things, like nature.

A walk on the beach, a walk in the bush, feeling the sand under our feet, feeling the sun on our skin, looking up and the stars, smelling the flowers and fragrances around us, it could be music....

What is your soul food?

And how will you get your taste of soul food today?

Spring is in the air...

Spring is in the air for us in NZ.

It is a great time of year to think about what you might like to achieve before the end of the year.

Anything is possible between now and then...

What do you see yourself doing over the Summer months?  Is there something you can put in place now?  What little step can you use to move forward?

Take a moment to think about and imagine what you would like to be doing?  In your mind's eye, see if you can make a clear vision of what this will look like?

What will you be doing?

Who will you be doing it with?

How will you be feeling about having achieved a goal that you have wanted for a long time?

Who is your support group going to be?  Who are those around you that are positive and helpful and may offer encouragement when you doubt yourself?

What research can you do to move forward with your goal?

Put an exact date on this goal, put it on the calender.

Boom, so go forth today, and create your plan,

that could be your first step.


Have Fun...
