R U OK? ❤️

 

Today is R U OK? Day – a reminder to pause, check in, and connect with those around us. It’s a simple message with a big impact.

One of our favourite's is Smiling Mind – a free, evidence-based mindfulness app we love to use for meditation and relaxation . It’s great for:

  • Daily mental check-ins
  • Stress reduction
  • Building emotional resilience
  • Supporting conversations around mental health

 It’s backed by credible experts like Associate Professor Craig Hassed, a leading advocate for mindfulness and wellbeing, is the Coordinator of Mindfulness Programs at Monash University and has contributed to BCNA’s webcasts Managing stress and improving wellbeing with mindfulness and meditation - is an ambassador for Smiling Mind.

💛 One of the best things you can today is to tap into resources that support your mental health so you can show up at your best, whatever that means for you.

Let’s make time for meaningful conversations – not just on R U OK? Day, but every day. Because asking “Are you OK?” might be small, but it can be life-changing.

Visit R U OK?for helpful resources to support meaningful conversations.

    All good here, thank you xx .....

    I am currently on a road trip in Vic, staying at an Otis Retreat with my 2 brothers & one partner,  and have caught up with some wonderful BCNA members along the way xx

    I am Also catching up with 2 other Vic BC ladies from my fly fishing retreat from 2 years ago, one who is staying for a few days and the other arriving this evening.  

    We've been blessed with wonderful weather so far - compared to my home town area that's been pouring with rain!!

    Today I am going gold detecting with one of my buddies who is on her way to Sth Australia, gold detecting ... she's recently back from WA, detecting too!

    If you haven't arranged an Otis Retreat yet, I'd recommend it highly ..... one of the others are hoping to arrange another one next year, so that my close BCNA buddies can all attend, from 4, maybe 5 different states!

    Take care, stay well xx
