Kia ora everyone,
I hope your month has gone well. We have been very busy here at National Office with several projects in the pipeline.
It really feels like spring now and I have been enjoying the longer days outside. My flowers are starting to bloom, and I have been busy buying new plants for the garden.

• Go for a walk
• Take time to eat your dinner, don’t rush
• Stretch for five minutes
• Try a new smoothie
• Truly savour your dessert
• Try a new exercise video
- Listen to an inspirational podcast
- Watch a movie
- Read for fun
- Call a loved one
- Pick up a new hobby
- Go for a coffee with a friend
- Plan your dream vacation
