FINCH REMEMBER
Your point of power is in your ability
to be still and aware in the present
moment. Challenge yourself to unplug
for a little while each day. One of the
biggest ways I’ve found to not get
distracted and remember to focus on
what’s important is to get my phone out
of the bedroom. I replaced it with an
old-school alarm clock. This helps to
cultivate presence and start the day off
with intention. If you find it hard to focus
and you get easily distracted, try this:
MANTRA
Dear Universe, my energy is present
in this moment. I am showing up fully
to participate in the task at hand. My
energy is grounded and purposeful.
This is the essence of my soul’s mission.
So be it, so it is.

The practical things you
can do to help rebuild
Australia, one town at a time
There’s not a single Australian who hasn’t had
their hearts broken by the horrifi c bushfi res
that have swept through our country. The
road to rebuild will be long but as a nation
we will: brick by brick, fence by fence. Bauer
Media launched this campaign to help our
neighbours in their time of need.
Each week we will shine a spotlight on a town
telling our generous readers how they can
help, from the best fundraisers to donate to
that specifi cally benefi t the locals, to products
they can buy from that town or region that
support small businesses there. We’ll highlight
the farmers who need fencing supplies, the
schools which are short of books and pencils,
the yoga school that needs mats or how to
plan a getaway to the region when the time
is right to bolster their local tourism industry.
The Rebuild Our Towns campaign is centred
on the fact that practical help doesn’t have
to cost a fortune. Our love and thoughts
go out to every person, but actions speak
