Connecting Us
E-Newsletter: Friday 28 August 2020
A big HELLO from us all here at the Hub.
I think we can see the rewards of our hard work coming
to fruition during the Stage 4 restrictions. We are clearly
making progress in driving down the numbers, but we
can’t stop now, we still need to be vigilant.
We hope you are keeping connected with friends and
family and looking out for those who you know are doing
it a little tough during this time. The hand of kindness is
so rewarding and fulfilling. You just never know how the
smallest gesture may brighten someone’s day.
Don’t forget we have Nadia and Sue who have been
amazing in providing Yoga and Meditation sessions
online since March. This is great way to gently work
your body and relax the mind. Both are very important
during this time. Also make sure you get out for your
exercise each day. Whilst the weather has been gloomy
this past week, it is still good to get out and grab that
very important Vitamin D from the sun.
Keep up the good work and stay safe.
Biq, Ibrahim, Muna and Wendy

Let's talk about COVID-drinking
It can take just 66 days to form a habit.
For Victorian’s this is longer than lockdown has lasted. The
habits picked up are more than just baking, jigsaws and
lunchtime walks.
Since COVID-19 started, some Victorians have reported
drinking a bit more than before. While this might just be a
few extra drinks, small changes can become harder to shift
over time. Importantly, even small increases in the amount
of alcohol you drink can take a toll on finances, and
relationships and have lasting impacts on physical and
mental health.
The message from the Alcohol and Drug Foundation is
simple; we're all still in this together, and there's lots of help
and support out there to help kick the habit.
Go to littlehabit.com.au for information on how to recognise
problem signs around drinking.

This photo was taken by Nadia our meditation tutor at last Friday’s informal class catch up on Zoom. The participants enjoyed getting to know one another over a cuppa and chat. “We had a great time, it was so nice to see all the familiar dear faces. We realise how important it is to come together even through Zoom. It was heart warming, and it lifted up our spirits! Thank you to everyone who participated. Definitely we will organise more of these events.” - Nadia Viglianti, Wednesday morning Guided Meditation and Relaxation tutor
