Welcome
DECEMBER EDITION
As the year winds down and December rolls in, we
find ourselves amidst the festive rush—a season of
celebration, reflection, and often, a touch of chaos.
Welcome to the December edition of Flourish
Health & Wellbeing Magazine!
In this edition, we remind everyone to be kind and
compassionate with Christmas & Retail: Being Kind
& Compassionate to Retail Workers. A little
patience and empathy can go a long way in easing
the stress for those working tirelessly to make our
festive season merry and bright.
Summer in Australia brings its unique challenges,
and with bushfire season on the horizon, we’re
sharing practical tips in How to Physically &
Mentally Prepare for Bushfire Season.
The festive season can take a toll on our wallets,
but we’re here to help. Managing Your Budget
Over the Festive Season offers thoughtful advice
to reduce financial pressures and safeguard your
wellbeing during what can be a financially fraught
time.
This edition also takes a fresh look at oral health
with Oral Health Trends: The Ones to Try and the
Ones to Avoid. At work, we’re exploring the
growing importance of emotional intelligence with
EQ at Work, a skill that’s changing the way we
connect and collaborate professionally.
We’re also proud to highlight inclusivity and
empowerment with Celebrating International Day
of People with a Disability, featuring inspiring
stories and resources to promote a more equitable
world.
And of course, what’s December without a little
indulgence? In How to Have Your Cake & Eat It
Too: Healthy Christmas Dessert Ideas, we’re
proving that festive treats can be both delicious
and healthy.
As we close out the year, let’s remember to care
for ourselves and each other, spreading kindness
and joy wherever we go. From all of us at
Converge, we wish you a safe, happy, and healthy
festive season.
For many, the holidays can be bittersweet. Our
latest podcast dives into the emotional
complexities of the season, exploring how to
manage the challenges while embracing the joy
that festive spirit can bring.
