Don’t forget connecting with yourself is equally as important as connecting with others.
Slowing down and taking notice helps you to feel calm and relaxed. Learn to enjoy each moment and the small things that make you happy.
Learn to appreciate the beauty around you, look up and around and see the colours of the trees changing with the seasons or listen for birds singing early in the morning.
Try and connect with a few of these suggestions:
- Take a walk in Rose Point Park, through the nature parkland, along the river and through the sensory garden and immerse yourself in the array of colours, smells and textures
- Head through the laneways around the town centre, check out the murals, inspiring the imagination
- Head out to villages around Singleton, take a camera and take time to really notice the colours and textures of what you are photographing
