🍃If your mind keeps moving low, let’s move your body instead.🍃

Some days feel heavier than others. Especially when you’ve been inside for too long, or when the days feel a little darker.

☀️Sunlight and movement have positive effects on serotonin and mood. ☀️
Just a few minutes of catching natural light in the morning or afternoon can lift your mood and reset your mind.

In the past 12 months, over 18 million Aussies have said they feel stressed about paying their household bills and living expenses. As the cost of living in Australia rises, the rate of financial stress increases.

Although we may not be able to control the situation or resolve these big issues, we can find small ways to manage the stress.

• 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗯𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗲𝘁.
Planning your expenditures can assist in breaking down the stress.

• 𝗟𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗼𝗺𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴.
Disconnect from reading or watching news on finances.

• 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗮𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀.
Sometimes we are unable to change our situations, and the best solution can be to stay grounded in the present moment.

• 𝗥𝗲𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗼𝘄𝗻.
Small steps no matter how effective means doing something under your control. Reuse plastic bags or packaging instead of bin bags, reuse glass jars, use old towels instead of paper towels.

Everyone deserves mental health support regardless of their financial circumstances. The wellness hub psychology clinic offers affordable counselling sessions, so you don’t have to face this challenge alone.

For specific support based on your unique needs, you can book an appointment here with our counsellors at the Mental Health Foundation Australia.

We forget just how good our 20s are :)

As Elbert Hubbard said, “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” And yes, it really is like that. Time flies when we chase our dreams so intensely, but at the end of the day, gratitude helps us look back and appreciate everything we have and everything we’ve been through.

This Easter is a reminder to check in on your mate. 🥰🩵

Sometimes “I’m alright” doesn’t mean they are, and a simple check-in can mean more than you realise. Thus, this might be the perfect moment to reach out, grab a coffee, or just let someone know you’re there.

This Easter, spending time with your family can be more memorable. Meaningful moments don’t come with a price tag. 💛

With rising costs and busy schedules, holidays can sometimes put pressure on budgets and lead to financial crises. You can slow down, reconnect, and choose what feels right for you and your family.

Here are a few affordable ways to spend time together in Melbourne:
🌅 Pack a homemade picnic and watch the sunset at Point Ormond or St Kilda Pier
🌿 Take a peaceful walk and explore Herring Island (free ferry + nature trails)
🎬 Enjoy free exhibitions at ACMI in the city
🚂 Ride the mini train at Diamond Valley Railway for a fun family moment

Sometimes, happiness comes from the smallest moments – sharing a meal, taking a walk, and being present- and these moments will stay with us the longest.
