Have a picnic at Brisbane City Botanic Gardens…

Prepare some healthy picnic food and breathe in the fresh air. Picnics are a great way to bond with family and friends. Leave the world to the side and enjoy the special moment of being with loved ones in the surroundings of nature.

Take a walk along Brisbane Riverwalk and South Bank…

Let the spring breezes gently brush over your face. This will help your mind to stay clear and sharp and increase your energy level tremendously too. Take notice of the buds forming on trees and flowers blossoming, life and beauty is everywhere.

Fly a kite…

Flying kites is a typical childhood pastime activity, yet when we grow older, we tend to forget how much fun it can be. Being able to fly a kite as the wind tugs and pulls can be so much fun for the whole family. When you look up and see a kite soaring in the sky, it will put a big smile on your face. It is good for the eyes, the neck, the mind, and the overall wellbeing. You may even like to take your family to the Redcliffe KiteFest that is held in September each year at Pelican Park Clontarf.

Look and Listen to the Birds Singing…

The birds are out about in the neighbourhood. Spend a little time at the window or on a walk outside, seeing what birds you can spot. Bird watching can be a very meditative activity. It keeps the mind calm and relaxed and helps you to be mindful and present.

Watch the Sunrise…

Sunrise is a magical time of the day. It is an awakening of the planet, nature, animals, and humans. It is a new beginning too. At sunrise, the energy from the sun is one of peace, hope and gratitude. Open your heart and feel it and allow it to permeate your being. Being alive is a gift!
