Do you have a Playful Balance in your life?  

# data[].attributes.body
It's essential in life to create a balance between your professional and personal life.

How much play or relaxation do you schedule into your day?

1. What Blows Your Hair Back? Can you list 10 things that make you smile and feel alive?

2. If you are struggling who is your tribe? Who are the top 5 people in your life that you feel comfortable to contact when you're feeling down or looking to be inspired or support.

3. Get Back to basics.  It's incredible how having a simple morning ritual can shift your mood.  (eg. 1. Make my bed, 2. 30min stretch or exercise 3. Shower 4. 5 - 7 minute Meditation or a quiet tea and coffee as you set your positive intention for the day.)

Awareness is the key, learning how to pay attention to your levels of stress.   Carving out time to relax, unwind and find creative solutions.

I hope you've not forgotten,
how magical life can be.
It's understandable if you have.

Your soul is depleted, weary and worn.
but remember life is capable of so many twists and turns.
and nothing, nothing, is permanent.

As fast as you can feel at your very end, life can throw you a rope and pull you,
to the highest of heights.
It's a rollercoaster.

An up and down, in and out, over and under ride.
This chapter in your story is almost through and if you can just cast your mind back to the magic, your silver lining will find you pretty soon.

And I think it;s going to be the most magical time for you.
You've come so far and taken so much.

I hope you've not forgptten how magical life can be my friend.
You must believe.
You must believe.

An evidence-based approach to supporting the mental health and wellbeing of children in the classroom, school and home environments. Choose the implementation option to suit your school.

For a limited time, Australian primary schools can apply for a funded place and receive the Primary School Program at no direct cost to the school.

Smiling Mind is Australia's leading digital-led, prevention focussed mental health not-for-profit. Smiling Mind has been helping minds thrive for over 10 years and are the innovators behind Australia's most trusted mental wellbeing app. Our evidence-based tools support people to learn the skills to maintain their mental health in fun and interactive ways.

If you'd like to support our work, you can make a donation. Every contribution, however large or small makes a difference and we're so grateful for your support.

The Australian Mental Wellbeing Index provides a snapshot insight into the everyday mental wellbeing of Australia. It explores the factors that contribute to mental wellbeing and aims to generate a national conversation about how Australians can take a proactive approach to support mental wellbeing.

We've recently released the second annual report exploring the data collected across 2022-2023. The latest report shows young Australians aged 18-24, are experiencing poorer mental wellbeing than older age groups and poorer levels of focus and concentration may be a key driver of this.

"My doctor was shocked and asked me," ' Kristalee what have you been doing?'

I laughed and said Hypnosis. At the end of the conversation she said, "It looks like Mark has been able to do what a doctor couldn't." I feel alive again. Your MindFree programme has set my mind free, literally." Kristalee Caylen

Why the MindFree app

We understand how it feels to have a phobia, bad habits, be overweight, be in pain, or have sleepless nights. And when you've tried everything over and over again with minimal or no results it's time for a different approach. That's why the MindFree App is with you 24 hours a day seven days a week.

For more than three decades we have helped thousands of people overcome their phobias, sleep better, reduce pain, shed the kilos, dump emotional baggage, break bad habits, increase self-esteem and overcome a wide range of life challenges. And the best part is all you have to do is, sit back, close your eyes and listen. It's that simple.

We're with you 24 hours a day 7 days a week in the comfort of your own home

"This app has everything I need to
Sleep, eat well, exercise and even quit smoking. There are so many mini sessions I can call on in a day. Love it" BB September 2018

"Thank you for all the time and effort you put into creating this absolutely incredible App. This is so amazing and wonderful." Jo Blankenship WA

"Brilliant App
If you need assistance falling asleep, "sleep on a rainbow" or "out like a light" it sends me to sleep without fail every night. From quick 2 min pick me up motivations to an hour hypnosis session to get you focused on your goals for the day ahead. Easy to navigate and personalise with favourites and reminders."

"High Five. Thank you I just love this app. I am releasing and smashing goals in all areas of my life" Katietux Jan 2018

"Highly recommended App". DanRob April 2018

"The App is amazingly wonderful. You are a gift to the world. Thank you so much." Anna

"For three years I could not straighten my left knee. Now my left knee is straight. No pain at all!

"The mind free app has been a real Godsend and to have all this self help in one application is amazing. No matter what time of the day or night I know that I have the comfort of listening to the mantras or being helped in getting to sleep or whatever else I may need. Thank you again." Gail

"Just what I was looking for"

I have chronic pain and other issues, I have found this app to be very helpful as it has not only sessions catered to pain but also many other categories like sleep, phobias/anxiety, confidence, motivation, even to quit smoking or lose weight etc I have tried other apps in the past and nothing compares. It is worth the money as they offer help with many different areas and I have noticed over 100+ audio/videos already new and old which shows they frequently update their app. This has a good mix of hypnosis and meditation.

"This App covers the lot"

We bought this App after attending a 2 Day Innermakeover weekend in Melbourne a couple of years ago. It is great for at home meditation & hypnosis. It has video and audio sessions so you can do as much or as little as you want. I use it after a stressful day in my recliner to at night when I need to unwind and get some sleep. Believe me it never fails to get to sleep. There are so many areas it covers. You can break bad habits and can help with depression. There is much more. Used properly and regularly with any of the issues you are targeting you will be surprised by the results. I also use it for Pain management when required. Use it and you will get the benefitson.

"Very Impressed"

Having upgraded to this app from the Think Slim program, I have to say I'm impressed, not only is the app simple to use with many handy features like favourites and the download facilities, but there are so many more sessions available. There are quick self hypnosis sessions for a quick pain killer, and long sessions for deep sleep. And even sessions addressing the "face touching" which has become so important to avoid during the current health crisis. Looking forward to trying out many more of the sessions and getting some favourites downloaded.

"Awesome App"

This is my favourite app of all time. I use it most days and it helps to subtly shift my mindset from focusing on food and consuming unhealthy food, to making healthier choices and not being obsessed about food. I love listening to the sleep hypnosis, 12 keys combined while I'm out walking, pm sleepslim, and the motivation sessions. I appreciate that the cost of the app for a lifetime purchase is high, but it has been worth every cent to me. I never want to be without this app for the rest of my life - and luckily I don't have to be!

"Thank you for turning my life around In 8 short months.
I have lost 42kgs and still gradually losing weight. I feel twenty years younger with so much energy to burn." Allan Eccles
