Good Stuff: Find the good in every day
Good Stuff is the latest Getting Through Together campaign - encouraging New Zealanders to find the good in every day to help navigate tough times.
Taking time to notice and be grateful for the good stuff every day increases your chances of getting through hard times, and can make you happier in the good times.
This past year hasn’t been easy. Now more than ever, it’s important to tune into the good stuff when it happens. Make even a tiny space for it, try to savour it, and play it back in your mind afterwards.
The simple practice of noticing what makes you feel good and doing more of it is proven to support your wellbeing. In fact, “Take Notice” or mindfulness is one of Five Ways to Wellbeing.
It may sound too simple to be true - so it’s easy to forget when times are hard. We know the ongoing impacts of COVID-19 are a real challenge that can really empty the tank over time.
Slowing down and taking more notice of the ‘good stuff’ that really matters every day makes our lives happier and more memorable.
Doing stuff that makes us feel good really helps, especially when times are tough. If we’re doing things that make us feel good, then it helps our whānau feel good too.
