Massive thanks to builder Tuhi for sharing his Motivation Monday message. Waking up with strong purpose, just like Tuhi reminds us, really does set the tone for a stronger, more mentally fit day. When we start the day knowing why we’re getting up and what we’re building, whether it’s a house, a team, or a better version of ourselves, we show up more focused, more grounded, and more resilient.

LIVE WELL BUILD WELL proudly presents the BUILD BETTER HABITS toolbox/mini-workshop.
Your Habits Shape your Life.
Your daily habits become your routine. Your routine shapes your thinking. And over time, your thinking shapes your day-to-day life.
Mental fitness is about becoming more self-aware and spotting the weak habits that wear you down, like skipping meals, pushing through without rest, or reaching for quick fixes, and replacing them with stronger, healthier habits.
Small swaps, like taking time to eat properly, moving your body, or getting more sleep, can strengthen your resilience, your mental confidence and help you live and work better.
At LIVE WELL BUILD WELL, we’re all about those small, steady changes that build a stronger foundation for your life, one habit at a time.
Reach out if you`d like us to lead your next toolbox talk with your construction team. 💪

A big thank you to @gjgardnerhomesnz Manuka Projects for the opportunity to share the LIVE WELL BUILD WELL mental fitness message with your valued contractors and staff.
It was so great to speak with such a committed team. My parting message:
Start small. Choose one simple goal to support your mental fitness. Stick with it. Once that becomes your new normal, make the goal a little bigger. Consistency builds confidence, and small wins lead to lasting change.
Also, a huge shout-out to our LWBW Champion, Ben Sellwood (@bennies_builds05), for his amazing contribution to the session. Your support and real-life experience made the message even more powerful and really hit home..💪
