A big shoutout to the team at ITM Thompson Whatawhata. It was fun introducing the LIVE WELL BUILD WELL Mental Fitness program today. I enjoyed learning how some of your team boosts mental health by focusing on quality sleep, locking in quality time with family, and hitting the gym early each morning. One guy even shared how he and 20 mates hit the golf course twice a month to get out in the open, stretch their legs and enjoy each other`s company. 🌞 My key message was to find the activities you need to do to boost your wellness and lock them in. 💪

A big shout out to the staff at Thomsons ITM Papakura.
It was an absolute pleasure to introduce the LIVE WELL BUILD WELL Mental Fitness message. My key takeaway was if you want to boost mental resilience and health you need to swap weak habits for stronger habits and fine-tune your daily routine by planning ahead and locking in what you need to do to rest and recover. Be patient with yourself but persistent with your new goals. 🌞💪A special thanks to Luci Fraser for organising this event.
