Coffee Break - What's Brewing

Back on the Beans!

Coffee Break 2011 has officially come to an end and we are all back on the beans! We were overwhelmed by the support of our amazing donors and official sponsors. Very much looking forward to making Coffee Break 2012 an even bigger success, even if it does mean canning the coffee again. With over $18,000 raised in 2011, it’s a big ask but we are ready to take the plunge!

Let's Dance!

Still feeling lethargic? The Coffee Break team has found that when we’re feeling like crawling under our desks for a kip, we can boost our endorphins with a spot of dancing! Because we all seem to be pathologically bad a boogying, these spontaneous dance sessions also get us giggling and lift our energy levels so we can get through the cravings. You may think we’re just loosing our marbles but give it a try next time you feel like reaching for the caffeine.

We’ve even been recording a little hot shoe shuffles on the Coffee Break Facebook page to celebrate fundraising milestones - head over and check them out, they’re good for a laugh that’s for sure!

Head into their West End store to indulge in a delicious coffee flavoured delight & add to the Coffee Break fundraising tally even further. Who said guilt-free cupcakes were impossible?

Don’t involve yourself too heavily into today’s activities and take time to gather your thoughts. Eat a healthy lunch, engage in some innocent chat, just be yourself.

Survival Tips: Get off the couch!

Finding it hard to bring yourself to even make breakfast? Motivation is unheard of when caffeine is not flowing through your veins. You may find yourself thinking “there is no such thing as productivity!” Start your day off by reading an inspirational quote i.e.… “live each day as if it were your last.” Get out into the fresh air, push yourself for 30minutes of physical exercise and increase your blood flow!
