Monday 7 August: 8 week Rewire Your Brain for Happiness
Good morning, are you home for Labour Day or heading out to work any way? My kids are all home, so I’m staying home too!
This week the Easy Now Mindfulness workout is about teaching yourself how to focus on being in the here and now. As most of the time, we might not be in the here and now! We might be thinking about things that have happened yesterday, or maybe about what’s coming up tomorrow, next week or even next year. This means that we often forget to enjoy life just as it enrolls right in front of you. With this workout you will make being in the here and now a new habit for yourself and every new habit takes some time to practice and might feel a bit strange at first but you will get it!
So here’s an easy practice, because I’m all about making mindfulness easy! Set your timer on your phone or iPod right now on two times a day when you are able to take 2 minutes to practice. A good time is when you have your morning or lunch break or for example when you’re on the way home in the train or whatever other time is easy for you.
In these two minutes this is what you do:
1. Notice three things that you can see around you, and in between you breathe in and out. This might go like this: ” I see the lamp, breathe in, breathe out, I see the dog, breathe in, breathe out, I see the flowers, breathe in, breathe out.”
2. Notice three things you can hear, and in between just breathe in and out.
3. Notice three things you can feel, and again breathe in and out once between each thing you can feel.
You can easily do this everywhere and this is also a fun activity to do with your children!
Remember this week Mindfulness for Parents is coming up in Petone as well as the Doodle and Colouring workshop in Petone where you learn how to zendoodle, colour, make mandalas etc! Here’s a cute pumpkin I doodled this weekend, and you can learn this too!
Have a good week and would love to hear back from you!

This week I confirmed the mindfulness for busy parents classes at the Petone Comunity House as well as the Mindful doodle & colouring workshop. Very excited about new locations and working together with the local community centres!
Next schoolterm the 8-week training has been confirmed to start at the Norhtland Memorial centre for a second time. Lower Hutt and Linden still have to be confirmed but I’m optimistic about sorting this out the coming week.
I had a day a the Tawa Community Market and had some interest in flyers for all my classes which is great too.
Working at the moment on Mindfulness for seniors and extending even more in the corporate market, building my Easy Now Empire as my children call it 🙂
This morning on the radio in my car doing the school drop off:
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis – Growing Up (Sloane’s Song) feat. Ed Sheeran
I love that song!
Remember Early Bird deal on the Mindful Parent class end Sunday!!
Today we finish the 8 week Easy Now Mindfulness training at the Linden Social Centre. The best part is listening to how the training has made positive changes in the lives of my students!
Next the focus is on spreading the word about the upcoming classes in July. The 8 week training at Northland, Lower Hutt and Linden, Tawa. And also a new adventure, the 4 week Easy Now Mindful Parent training starting first at Churton Park, and next at Linden and Northland.

My 8 week Easy Now Mindfulness training was more than fully booked for the evening and I had to turn people down. The morning sessions still had spots left.
I gather most people are either at work or staying at home with litte ones. And because I think mindfulness is a very useful skill to have as a parent, I wanted to offer a training for the stay at home mums & dads. And grandparents!
I’ve been busy working on this training for parents and under 4s. Today I got the location confirmed and the training will be at the Churton Park Community Centre, starting next school term, on Wednesday July 29, $65 early bird booking.
There will also be an Easy Now Mindful Parent training at the Linden Social Centre, starting Thursday August 27, 11.00-12.00.
