Our Journey

Kia ora, nau mai ki The Good Day Matrix! We are here to help you along your wellbeing journey and hope you share key moments with us! My name is Daz and with the support of our amazing team, The Good Day Matrix was launched in July 2021. We know that wellbeing isn’t just about body and mind alone, it’s about a matrix of elements intersecting and working together to help you thrive!

 

After the birth of my second son, I was so lost, overwhelmed, disconnected, unmotivated and unconfident. I had no idea where to start. I had no idea what I needed to do to dig myself out of the proverbial hole I was in, and I had no idea how to communicate where I was at. 

 

Fast forward to now and enter The Good Day Matrix! We are a social good company, meaning, our primary goal is to positively impact your life and that’s why now, after five years of iterations and development, we get to give you our wellbeing platform, FREE, because wellbeing is not a product, a booty band or a boot camp. It isn’t a destination you reach. There is no one-size-fits-all approach or answer. Your wellbeing is an ongoing journey you chip away at as you learn more about yourself and we are 100% here to support your hikoi!

 

Our mission is to share inspiring and human stories and life formulas through the interviews we do with cool Kiwi folk, so you can connect, challenge your perspectives, and get curious to build your own infinite and resilient wellbeing roadmap. Navigating the pit stops, potholes and detours gets a lot easier when you know who you are, what you need and how to connect to those things.

 

We are a free wellbeing service, weaving body, mind, identity, community, and environment together with the goal of supporting you, and all of Aotearoa to thrive and live well, every day.

 

So take time to have a squizz, there are Pilates, HIIT and Yoga workouts, there are Cooking and Self-defence lessons, blogs and amazing interviews that will inspire your curiosity. All that you have to do to continue your wellbeing journey is sign up for FREE and join our community!

Our Wellbeing Pillars

Body

Feeling brave and great is what caring for your body as a system is all about. Delve in to understand how food, movement, injuries, rest, and more work together to keep you bravely moving forward.

Mind

Self compassion and understanding towards yourself and others takes ongoing work and practice. Catching the negative internal chat and kicking it in the butt ASAP is half the battle. Check out mindfulness, feelings, managing emotions, and more to strengthen your mind.

Identity

Being grounded is critical. Feeling grounded is being strong in knowing who you are and having tools to support and ground you to love your uniqueness. Embrace questioning yourself in who you are and help discover your unique self. 

Community

Connecting brings joy to our everyday lives. Contributing. Being empathetic. Being part of your community. It connects us and impacts an ecosystem bigger and wider than we will ever know.

Environment

Home. Work. Nature. All physical environments. But also deep emotional environments. You can be impacted by them and you can be impactful within them. Check out how to be aware of how to foster your wellbeing in all of these areas.
