The Five Ways to Wellbeing - Mental Health Awareness Week | Ash Air

This year’s Mental Health Awareness Week theme is Five Ways, Five Days. Life has been a rollercoaster lately, with stress and overwhelm hitting us from all angles. We've faced uncertainty, unfamiliarity, and hardships that have left us with mixed emotions.

The Five Ways to Wellbeing are five simple yet proven actions  we encourage our team at Ash Air to help them find balance, build resilience and boost wellbeing. These practices are backed by evidence and can be easily incorporated into anyone's life, regardless of their situation. 


GIVE / TUKUA 

Give your time, your words, your presence; tukua te wā ki a koe, ō kupu, ko koe tonu.

 


BE ACTIVE / ME KORI TONU 

Be active, do what you can – whāia te mea ka taea e koe, enjoy what you do – kia pārekareka tāu i whai ai, move your mood – kia pai ake ō piropiro. 


 KEEP LEARNING / ME AKO TONU 

Keep learning and embrace new experiences, awhitia te wheako hou, see opportunities – kimihia ngā ara hou, surprise yourself – me ohorere koe i a koe anō. 


CONNECT / ME WHAKAWHANAUNGA 

Connect, talk and listen – me kōrero, me whakarongo, be there – me whakawātea i a koe, feel connected – me rongo i te whanaungatanga.


TAKE NOTICE / ME ARO TONU 

Take notice of the things around you, remember the simple things that give you joy – me aro tonu ki ngā mea māmā noa i ngākau harikoa ai koe.

Just like any other equipment, a compressed air installation also requires the necessary maintenance work during its entire lifespan. Even though maintenance costs are only about 5 to 10% of a machine's annual operating costs, failure to budget for maintenance can have potentially disastrous consequences.


The air dyer is one of the most ignored cooler in the system. A dirty condenser will cause water in the lines, or worse it will cause complete dryer failure.


Using nitrogen is not about fully replacing CO2, but it can reduce their consumption of CO2 by close to 70%. Using nitrogen is about sustainability. Creating your own nitrogen is easy and will reduce the use of a greenhouse gas, which is better for the environment. It will also save you money as early as month one adding that savings to your bottom line.
