25.01.2022 ‘built by men for men’ Was great to see the Herald Sun write up on an exciting new project involving our two favourite larrikins, Aaron Williams and Samuel Johnson. Bupa Australia have partnered with Mindstar and Go1 to develop the Men’s Wellbeing Hub for their members in Victoria. The Hub includes - A Wellbeing Check Tool... - Learning resources on topics such as maintaining mental fitness, dealing with isolation, fatherhood, how to stress-less and social connection - and the Man Chat series which features candid and honest yarns with top blokes such as Golden Logie winner Samuel Johnson OAM and AFL legend Dale Thomas (and more to come). We have loved being a part of this project, helping blokes in Victoria care better for themselves and their mates. More info on the Men’s Wellbeing Hub here. https://lnkd.in/ghXfdUR Bupa Australia Go1

13.01.2022 B R E A T H E Learning a helpful breathing technique for stressful moments or when you need to focus, calm down or relax, is a wellbeing hack you will seriously rave about. And something we ourselves have been utilising more and more these last few weeks. Our stripped back, simple technique is as easy as '325' ... breathe in for 3 seconds hold for 2 seconds breathe out for 5 seconds. Complete a couple of times to quickly refocus or pause a reaction, or repeat 20 or so times for a fuller relaxation moment. Practice and practice some more, teach to your children and make it your go-to wellbeing mini hack. #welbeingnow

10.01.2022 So you know those lofty resolutions you excitedly set just last week? Here's your friendly check in? How are you travelling? Have you stopped to think about what happens if you don't reach those goals? Let's say you decide that 2020 is the year you're going to save $10,000 to finally go on that epic snowboarding trip. You get to December and you've saved $7,400! ... Do you feel rubbish for falling thousands short, or do you give yourself an epic high-five because, oh my gosh you just saved $7,400 (that's a lot of missed Avocado Toast)! When you're setting big goals, apply the 'if/then' principle to your planning and identify where you might 'fail' or stumble at your goal and what you can do to readjust. Having a 'plan for when I fail' in place, is one of the best ways to actually stay on track, or rather, help you get back on track if you slip off momentarily.

03.01.2022 Wellbeing can be a rather complicated subject. There's millions of approaches, opinions and success/fail stories, so finding a method that works for you can be a tad overwhelming. SO in an effort to help, over the next few months we're going to focus in on Simplifying Wellbeing. #letssimplifywellbeing Our top 'tips' to help increase your personal wellbeing. ... Starting with today, our first wellbeing tip is L I S T E N Listen to other's stories, struggles and unique approaches. You don't need to adopt their methods or views but listening helps broaden your perspective and understanding of the world and how it unravels.

03.01.2022 This week is Donate Life Week, and is a cause close to the hearts of our Mindstar family. When our wonderful Wellbeing Manager, Karina tragically lost her 10 yr old daughter, she didn't hesitate to make the decision to donate Sophie's organs. Knowing this decision would have been what kind-hearted Sophie wanted, the choice meant that 10 other lives were saved as a result. Karina is an amazing role model, and by bravely sharing her story, reminds us to take time to have the talk with family, friends and work mates. With the majority of Australians believing it’s important to be an organ and tissue donor, only one in three actually take next steps to register. Registering takes 1 minute. You can find out more and register at https://donatelife.gov.au/register-donor-today #DonateLifeWeek2020 #donatelife

01.01.2022 #happyfrienduary Yes, loved up couples like to stake their claim on this month, but let's extend the 'love' to those fab friends we have in our lives. From the one who's been there since our awkward years in highschool, the work mate we snort laugh with while browsing through memes, and that great school mum who gives an understanding smile and thumbs up when we scramble in late. ... Great friends are like gold! And the best friends are the ones who you can be honest with, fall apart with, cry as well as snort laugh with. So send a text to those friends, and maybe even buy them a red heart shaped box of chocolates, because good friends deserve a whole month of Friend-uary spoiling.
