21.01.2022 The lads at Laser Electrical Goondiwindi have been looking sharp this week in their TradeMutt shirts! Loving seeing the pics from our local community - keep them coming

20.01.2022 great job Heath.

14.01.2022 Cheating a little bit here guys. I have been asked to do some videos on mental health for a WA support group. I thought you might like the messages in this one. Coming to you from the old Mundine woodshed. Be kind to yourselves. :)) Chantal

13.01.2022 Who would have thought there would be something good to say about 2020? We are privileged, in this mess of a year, to at least be the most aware we have ever b...een with regards to mental health. We’ve watched mates eat raw eggs, had Push Up Challenges galore and public donations to mental health charities Australia wide. In July, we’ve teamed up with TradeMutt and This Is A Conversation Starter to, not simply become another awareness campaign on the list, but to take action against this crisis. So this is a call to arms. Educate yourself. Know how to have a chat with a mate if they are suffering. If you’re ready, share your story. But make sure you are taking an active step forward to make sure that we are not sitting idle. Jump onto the event page This Is Our Conversation 2020. Buy yourself a shirt down at MacKenzies. Listen to a TradeMutt's #Project180 podcast. Sign your workplace up to some training, seek help if you’ve been contemplating it. Find a median that works for you, and run with it. As always, I am here for a chin wag if you need, or jump into the Lucy Walker Pharmacy and have a chat with whoever you feel comfortable with. Awareness. Acceptance. Action.

13.01.2022 Anxiety can make it really difficult to enjoy life. I find a lot of people experience what we call Social Anxiety, which is mostly about worrying about what oth...ers think of you, especially when you are out in public. To combat this type of anxiety you really have to get to know yourself and appreciate all the things about who you are - and not compare yourself to others. We are all unique and have our strengths. In this video I have a little chat about GAD ... generalised anxiety disorder which is exactly that... lots of general worrying... although I find when I ask people to really think about what they are worried about - to put their finger on the thing that is bothering them, then they can better problem-solve that thing, and it alleviates much of the anxiety.

10.01.2022 How Dads Can Help Build Resilient Rural Kids How are rural kids coping without sport? Dad’s can play an active role. In rural Australia, at this time of year, s...port is usually big on the social calendar for most families. Little boys often play rugby, and little girls, netball. With all of the exceptions in between. Children love to see their parents happily cheering them along on the sidelines and interacting with other adult friends. It makes them feel loved, important and secure essential for good self-esteem and confidence. For little rugby players, they get to 'rough and tumble' in a safe and fun way. And they all get to connect with their friends, burn off excess energy, learn how to play well with other team mates, and have set goals to focus on and work towards. And some little sports people even get to be 'hero' for the day or season when they do something truly magnificent for the team. That is a lot of positivity to suddenly have ripped away from you and cope with when you are a child. Of course, there isn’t much we can do about the scourge of Covirus, but I think it’s well worth reminding ourselves as parents, as teachers and community members that children are coping with dramatic changes to their lives as are, we adults. If we can go some way towards replacing what kids have lost through lack of sporting experiences during Covid, we may also see a reduction in the ‘acting out’ going on in class rooms and home environments that parents are discussing with me at the moment. An untested theory but maybe worth considering?? Things we need to ask ourselves and be aware of that kids will be missing: What intrinsically rewarding goals do your children have? How are they getting rid of pent up energy? How are they positively connecting with their friends? Are your little boys getting to wrestle, hug and touch? Boys need appropriate human touch as much as girls. And most importantly of all how are your children seeing you? Are they getting that fulfilling sense of being loved and supported by seeing you happy and fulfilled by friendships, having gratitude for the small details, and healthy coping behaviours? Go well and happy school holidays. Chantal Masters, Calm Farmer.

08.01.2022 I actually enjoyed isolation because I got to spend some quality time with my kids I got to do things with them that I have never had the opportunity to do before. This at first strikes me as wonderful what a fantastic silver lining on the covid cloud. Fathers’ worlds stopping long enough for them to step into the space of their children and really take in, notice, be mindful of all the little details that make up their children’s personalities and lives. But then once... that comment (common among a lot of men I have spoken with) sinks inI find it rather sad. Once covid has passed, will these Dads get back on the treadmill of work, only pausing long enough to kiss the kids goodbye as they rush out the door, or goodnight as they tiredly finish their long day? The role of a father in a child’s life is just as important as a mother’s and yet I notice rural men struggle to find the time to devote to their children in a way that could have a lasting positive impact. As a rural man what has this been your experience? Would you like more time to spend with your children? Feel free to comment below. See more
