One of our dear friends, Amanda Horne, is on a mission to improve the well being of Canberra residents. As a Canberran now living in Melbourne I can appreciate what Amanda is endeavouring to do. There is much stress among federal public servants because Kevin 07 has morphed into Kevin 24/7 (translation for our OS readers: our new Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd aka Kevin 07, is working the public service to the bone at the moment).

So here is the program Amanda has organised.

Bright-eyed and Bushy Tailed
(….in five easy steps)

You are invited to attend a half-day workshop that will help you to thrive and flourish. Facilitated by well-known naturopath Mim Beim, this workshop will provide you with information and tips on how you can boost your wellbeing. In her friendly, down-to-earth and approachable style, Mim will cover:

  • building energy, wellbeing and resilience
  • enhancing your immune system
  • helping the body to minimise the effects of stress
  • practical nutrition tips to boost energy and concentration
  • rituals for relaxation and renewal
  • attaining a healthy body weight
  • tools to help you feel ‘full of beans’- Q&A (bring your questions)

Mim Beim has been a practising naturopath for over 20 years. She has written 7 books, hosted 2 TV series, features regularly on national radio and writes for ABC’s ‘Life’ magazine. Mim has a special interest in the way stress affects our health, and specialises in helping people to improve their wellbeing.

“One of the questions I ask my patients is: “On a scale of 1-10, where would you place your energy levels, if 10/10 is ‘jumping full of beans’?”. Quite often patients will respond with a 4 or 5, even when they appear to have plenty of energy, able to accomplish full-time work, family life and study. Many people push themselves to get through each day, sometimes for years on end. This can lead to illness, and it means it’s more difficult to enjoy life and to feel bright-eyed and bushy tailed.” (Mim Beim)
