25.01.2022 Charan How has failure or apparent failure set you up for later success? Failure or apparent failure has engaged a process of reflection. It has forced me to consider whether I am failing at something because a) I do not enjoy it or b) as part of the inevitable learning process in something that I do enjoy. In the case of the former, I have ceased the activity (where possible). In the case of the latter, I have forced myself to be more patient with my progress and focuse...d my attention on how to improve. This patience and focus has set me up for later success. What is one of the best or most worthwhile investments youve ever made? Studying in the United States and France were opportunities for significant personal growth and clarity. They were one of my most worthwhile investments of time and money. In the last five years, what you become better at saying no to? I have become better at saying no to activities which do not align with my values. When you feel overwhelmed or unfocused, or have you lost your focus temporarily, what do you do to get back on track? I take time to relax, recentre my thoughts and focus on what is important. This often involves internal reflection on what tasks most closely align with my objectives and planning on how to best complete those tasks. #kingstonyouthservices #hereforyoungpeople #cityofkingston #youthservices #youth #youthworkers #youngpeople #youthprograms #youthactivities #youthsessions #youthevents #youthsupport #youthadvocacy #youthengagement #youthparticipation #communitysupport #supportservices

23.01.2022 The State Government is undertaking a proactive cleaning blitz of public areas across Victoria. Cleaning of Kingstons key public areas, including local shoppin...g strips and parks, will commence this week. Up to 50 people who lost their jobs as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic are joining Kingston Councils cleaning effort to help prevent the virus spreading through contact transmission. Popular areas and communal touch points such as public seating, bike hoops, playground equipment, bins, pedestrian signal buttons, hand rails, street furniture and bus shelters will get extra cleansing and disinfecting over the coming weeks.

22.01.2022 Bella How has failure, or apparent failure set you up for success? If I dont do as well at something as I had hoped, I have found that I can use that experience as motivation to work hard in the future. This approach leads to further rewards down the line which I wouldnt have had without the original failure!... What is one of the best or most worthwhile investments youve ever made? I trained in dance for sixteen years. Dance teaches you so much about discipline, teamwork, responsibility, and setting and achieving goals. And, of course, you get to have a wonderful creative outlet. It is absolutely one of the best investments Ive made! In the last five years, what have you become better at saying no to? Saying no to talking myself out of things! If you want to do something, just go for it. It may take some time to achieve it but you have just as much fun (if not more) along the way as you do once youre at your goal. When you feel overwhelmed or unfocused, or have lost your focus temporarily, what do you do to get back on track? This is a bit cheesy, but Im a big fan of a good mantra. Its something simple that you can just repeat to yourself, and you can use it as your new philosophy moving forward rather than looking back and worrying about the past. One I like is: Ive got this!. Another good idea is to set out a schedule for yourself. Sometimes it feels like there is way too much going on, but once you write it out you have clarity as to where things can be moved around. Treat yourself like a friend. What would you tell them to prioritise to maintain their wellbeing and achieve their goals? #kingstonyouthservices #hereforyoungpeople #cityofkingston #youthservices #youth #youthworkers #youngpeople #youthprograms #youthactivities #youthsessions #youthevents #youthsupport #youthadvocacy #youthengagement #youthparticipation #communitysupport #supportservices

18.01.2022 Sabina How has failure, or apparent failure set you up for later success? Failure has entered my life only long enough to teach me valuable lessons and really point me in the right direction of what I want/need, I think its important to have set backs as it opens more doors you didnt know were an option. ... What is one of the best or most worthwhile investments youve ever made? One the best things Ive invested in that has honestly made such a difference in my life is self care, to give time to yourself and intentionally doing things that make you feel good can give such healthy balance to your life. In the last five years, what have you become better at saying no to? In the last 5 years Ive learnt how to say no to going to events so I can study for uni, it was hard because hanging out with friends is obviously better than studying haha but Ive learnt that education is priority at the moment. When you feel overwhelmed or unfocused, or have lost your focus temporarily, what do you do to get back on track? When Im feeling overwhelmed I sit back and put everything into perspective of priority that needs to be done and other times just relax, put on an easy easy cartoon to watch or listen to some calming music. #kingstonyouthservices #hereforyoungpeople #cityofkingston #youthservices #youth #youthworkers #youngpeople #youthprograms #youthactivities #youthsessions #youthevents #youthsupport #youthadvocacy #youthengagement #youthparticipation #communitysupport #supportservices

18.01.2022 One of the greatest privileges of having a position of leadership is celebrating the important role young women play in our communities. Kingston Youth Services recognises the value of investing in young women and will continue to create opportunities for them to develop. The Young Womens Mentoring Program is a capacity building program for young women in senior high school with a strong emphasis on developing their leadership skill set, strengthening their interpersonal ski...lls, building their social capital and creating greater access to local networking opportunities. The program encourages and supports young women to invest in their own potential and form a powerful and supportive peer network as well as meaningful links to positive community role models. We are seeking expressions of interests for mentors - if you would like to be a mentor, please send through your details here http://kingstonyouth.org.au/young-womens-mentoring-program/

14.01.2022 Young people today live in a busy, complex and rapidly-changing world, faced with increased pressures and expected to adapt to numerous changes to their way of life very quickly and away from their normal support networks. The impacts of this can include a rise in stress levels, anxious thoughts and periods of feeling low to name just a few. Mindfulness Mondays has been created as a resource for young people to access to practice mindfulness during this time by following a short guided meditation that is sent at the start of every week and can help set up the week on a stronger foot.

09.01.2022 Bernie How has failure, or apparent failure set you up for later success? Whilst facing employment issues and looming unemployment after University I have set up my own sole trader venture and coupled that with experience in my own small business! It has been very rewarding and fruitful for my future career. As such I have gained a wealth of knowledge and experience that I wouldnt have if I didnt take head of failure!... What is one of the best or most worthwhile investments youve ever made? One for the most worthwhile investments was my University degree as well as studying abroad. Gaining my undergraduate design degree has set up my life pattern and encouraged me to seek solution based problem solving in every aspect of my life! I am now more worldly and I have understood now where I am heading in my life choices and as part of my community! In the last five years, what have you become better at saying no to? I have become better at saying no to more people who want my attention solely wanting my humour, rather than a mutual friendship who cares for each other. I have felt it more important to focus on two sided friendships and what I can bring to them. When you feel overwhelmed or unfocused, or have lost your focus temporarily, what do you do to get back on track? If I become unfocused or trying to be more motivated I usually try to tick off the small things on my daily list. Simple items like cleaning and household jobs. This allows me to feel somewhat productive and sets me up to achieve more in my day. Staying creative is also my big motivator! Trying to draw or create something everyday keeps me inspired and helps me stay on track! #kingstonyouthservices #hereforyoungpeople #cityofkingston #youthservices #youth #youthworkers #youngpeople #youthprograms #youthactivities #youthsessions #youthevents #youthsupport #youthadvocacy #youthengagement #youthparticipation #communitysupport #supportservices
