23.01.2022 Take care of yourself this weekend

21.01.2022 Nov 8-15 is NAIDOC Week, an annual celebration of the history, culture and achievements of First Nations Peoples. This year’s theme, Always Was, Always Will Be, recognises that our nation’s story didn’t begin with documented European contact, and that First Nations Peoples have occupied this continent for over 65,000 years. The very first footprints on this continent belong to First Nations Peoples. They were our first explorers, scientists, diplomats and artists. Relations...hips Australia Queensland is proud to celebrate NAIDOC Week. Our vision for reconciliation is a just, equitable and sustainable world that acknowledges and respects First Nations Peoples as the sovereign people on whose land we live and work. We recognise their strengths, wisdom, knowledge and expertise, and our Reconciliation Action Plan details our commitment to building stronger, respectful relationships between First Nations Peoples and other Australians.

But why do we delay happiness until the ‘big thing’ we’re waiting for happens? Even when we achieve the ‘big thing’, we always find something else to chase, and the goalposts keep moving. In our latest blog post, we discuss the difference between conditional and unconditional happiness, and offer tips to stop tying your happiness to a target: https://www.raq.org.au/blog/how-stop-waiting-be-happy

The Gottman Institute explores some of the telltale signs that you and your partner could benefit from couples counselling, and what to do if your partner doesn't want to go.
