When we are under stress it is easy to default to negative patterns of behaviour which lead to fear, self-doubt, emotional pain and sometimes despair.
Building resilience is a way to weather the storms of our minds and to find a sense of balance and calm, no matter what life bring us. It is easy to start beating ourselves up when we are having a bad day or week or month. It is easy to be hard on ourselves and blame ourselves for our own perceived faults and weaknesses.
It is harder to look more deeply into what is making us feel bad and to be kind to ourselves as we heal our lives.
This quote from Julia Cameron in the hugely popular self-help book “The Artists Way” can be triggering. We are not taught to treat ourselves this way and at first this quote looks like it is encouraging selfishness and an entitled attitude.
On further reflection we see that this is not true and that to be kind to ourselves is one of the most important things we can do for ourselves and our world.
When we can be truly loving to ourselves and to give ourselves the nurturing, understanding and love that we need, we find that parts of ourselves we have shunned or rejected are handed back to us and we are able to see ourselves more clearly and to appreciate that our flaws are just parts of our psyche that need a little extra love and tender care.
Building connections is a sure fire wire to find more resilience. When we are feeling down our world shrinks down to the size of our bedroom. We can challenge this energy by going out and being willing to connect to with other people. Ask them how they are and really listen to their response. Connect with them and realize that you are just like every other human being who suffers.
Even better, you could volunteer for a group that helps people on the margins of society. Giving your time to the City Mission or a group that helps the homeless is a great way to reset your attitude. When you are able to use your life to help others you realize that you are not alone in your pain and that your presence can help others who are really struggling.
Mindfulness is another way to bring extra calm and resilience into your life. When you are beset by difficult emotions, just slowing down and listening to the sound of your breath can really help you to come back to a place of balance.
There are many apps that offer free meditations and mindfulness exercises such as Head Space, Calm, Buddify, Sattva and Stop Breathe and Think.
Love yourself more, connect with others, be kind and feel better.
]]>Our Managers (including Serene, Roshini, and Hayden) attended to confirm the latest trends, brands, and innovations in the market, and we were not let down.
Major takeaways from the event which our official brand partners, store partners, and wider network should know about;
1. What's your USP?
Chinese consumers are spoiled! 10 years ago any NZ made product would break down the door, now you need a Unique Selling Point (USP).
2. Market! Market! Market! Time.....
Along with a market validated USP, a strong marketing budget coupled with the right channel partners and dedication/time is the key to success. Again know your customer to the smallest specifics (do not be generic) and understand your USP!
Our official brands such as Bio Island, Maxigenes, Anthongenol, Childlife, Freeze Frame, Walker Wellbeing, NZ Honey Company and more all have found a strong unique selling point and/or truly understand their customers and markets well.
If you're a brand looking for representation or a store owner wanting official brands, contact sales@eclipsewholesale.com.
Catch you at the Alibaba Expo 2020!

CWH currently have two stores in NZ and are about to open a bunch more, and have big hopes and dreams in our market. Their assertive NZ plans really came through in the session, we’re the first non-Australian market for them to push in to and business is going well, the St Lukes store is already one of their networks top performers.
The other major factors that stood out was the power of their marketing machine, they’re in every medium imaginable, balancing traditional media (print/TV) with a strong presence online. Their website, www.chemistwarehouse.co.nz will launch in NZ in 2019 -- and their outsized power in terms of getting great Aussie/NZ product into the transformational (and highly dynamic) China marketplace.
The Australian ‘retailer of the century’ is a fearsome competitor, with almost 500 stores, AUD$5B+ in revenue, and still growing fast. Their next challenge is to compete with the really big boys, Walmart, Amazon, the big Aussie supermarkets etc. They’ve identified that you never reach the end of the journey, you just keep fighting, keep moving, and decide which mountain to climb next.
