New Forest Mind Body Spirit

To our New Forest Mind Body and Spirit Tribe, seasons greetings to each and everyone of you, in the eloquent words of L.R.Knost

"Here's to the bridge-builders, the hand-holders, the light-bringers, those extraordinary souls wrapped in ordinary lives who quietly weave threads of humanity into an inhumane world. 

They are the unsung heroes in a world at war with itself. They are the whisperers of hope that peace is possible. 

Look for them in this present darkness. Light your candle with their flame. And then go. 

Build bridges. Hold hands. Bring light to a dark and desperate world. 

Be the hero you are looking for. 

Peace is possible. 

It begins with us .."

Plans to allow mobile cafes in New Forest car parks have been branded a “recipe for disaster” for its free-roaming animals.

Today is so we're checking in to see if you know about the wealth of outdoor wellbeing groups and activities the New Forest has to offer.

In fact, a recent study showed that the value of the National Park was a massive £27million per year, equivalent to 999 nurses in terms of avoided healthcare costs.

Head to the linked below to find out more about these outdoor wellbeing opportunities available to you, your friends, your family and those you work with.

You can also read stories from those who have really benefitted from the Forest, as well as experts on the importance of social prescribing, like Joanna Sheppard from New Forest Primary Care Network:

Today on International Womens Day, it's no secret that womens freedoms are being restricted globally.

How can we celebrate today with so much challenge in the world?

The most impactful step we can take is to look at the context and perspective we are seeing life from so we can regain our personal power.

If our perception is men can't be trusted and we make men wrong for what is happening to women, this mistrust will permeate into our communities and grow.

Yes, it's true a lot of men are taking action against women. It is also true that a lot of men are supporting women's rights and protecting women. Many are sacrificing their own lives in doing so. So, seeing human beings for who they are rather than their gender is a good start in regaining our power.

If our perception is that we have no power and standing up for what we believe is futile, then we will take actions that disempower us further.

If instead our perception is that standing up for what we believe creates a Ripple effect throughout our communities then we empower ourselves to speak our truth and take actions which raises the awareness of the women who are challenged at this time

Taking responsibility for our own reactions to these global challenges allows us to see life as it is, not emeshed in what we already believe it to be.

From this clear vantage point we can then take action which not only makes a difference in our communities, it also raises our personal power.

See the individual posts for reframes you can use today and everyday to stay in your power.

With love
