- Practice yoga or meditation, or get a mirimiri (massage) infusing your body in oil and releasing tension from your body.
- Try to get out of your work environment during breaks. Go for a walk into a nearby park or natural area, being mindful of your breathing, your footsteps and the environment around you.
- Spend time gardening or create a green space in your home or office where you could grow a few small plants, such as herbs, on a windowsill.
- Take notice of the night sky. Be aware of what phase the moon is in and how the visible constellations change throughout the year.
- Go for a bush walk, try to identify the different animal and plant species you see and photograph them while taking the time to really notice what you are photographing.
- Take the time to give a special thank you to people who support you every day.
- At the end of the day ask friends, family or colleagues what the best thing was about their day and listen with interest when they respond.
- Begin meetings with a karakia (prayer) or short reflection (eg, an inspiring quote) followed by a brief silent period, allowing people to breathe mindfully and bring their full attention into the room. End in a similar fashion
