Hi there!
Thanks for sticking with us. Only 3 more episodes to go! We genuinely hope you’ve taken some tools away from the show that you can implement in your life.
Something we feature on Episode 11 is a must-try for all. It’s called Forest Therapy and it’s the new wave of de-stressing. In Japan, the suicide rate dropped dramatically after doctors started prescribing it. You can hear more about it in our visit to Qii House in Lorne.
Another great topic this week is burnout and how to avoid it. At the speed of life that we’re living, burnout is a definite possibility for all of us. We all need to make a conscious effort to slow down… me included!
Tune in today, Saturday November 23rd at 12pm on Channel 9 and Sunday December 1st On Nine Life.
Hope you enjoy the show!
On this weeks show…
Happy People
AFL Executive Darren Birch was the sort of person who would just go and go until one day he realised that he needed to take a step back. Darren didn’t want to let anyone down, so he pushed himself to the point where he suffered from burnout. After doing some research, Darren found Palladium Private, a wellness retreat on the sunshine coast that helped him get his life back on track.
Happy Mind
This week, resident psychologist Chris Mackey speaks to us about burnout. Burnout happens when the demands on us are greater than the resources we have to deal with them. It’s important to understand your own stress signature, so you can pick up on when your stress symptoms are building and make sure we don’t let ourselves become overwhelmed with burnout.
Happy Travels
The Great Ocean Road is truly one of Australia’s most beautiful areas. We headed just inland of Lorne to get back nature and spend some time looking inward, as we went forest bathing at the quirky Qii House Eco Retreat.
Happy travels are proudly brought to you by Webjet.
Random Acts of Happiness
Rob Lytzki’s passion for helping those in need has led to over 500 lives being turned around from the grips of alcohol and drug dependency. For this week’s Random Act of Happiness, we take some of the residents at Foundation 61, a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility, along to Curlewis Driving Range for an afternoon of fun on the golf course.
Happy Finances
This week Angie, with the help of our friends at Morris Finance, give some good money habit tips around how to get started to learn the basics of finance so you can get on top of your money goals.
Happy Bodies
Nathan Toleman and the Common Ground Project
Renowned chef Nathan Toleman is well known for his iconic Melbourne Café’s Higher Ground Top Paddock and The Kettle Black. Working in the hospitality industry, Nathan saw just how many chefs were struggling with burnout, so he decided to start the common ground project. It’s a place where chefs can go to focus on their mental health and rediscover their love for cooking.
Happy Pets
Petstock love to hear stories of humans and animals coming together so they sent us along to find out what Karmably’s goat meditation is all about.
Happy Eating
George Georgievski’s healthy creations have enticed mums and dads all around the world to get a bit more creative with their lunchbox choices. New dad Adamo couldn’t wait to get some ideas for when his little one grows up, so George showed us how to make a healthy donut complete with hundreds and thousands!
