1. SAY HI! Leave a comment introducing yourself, share a little something, say how you feel, or just literally say hey & leave your favourite emoji 💃🏽

2. After you've left your comment, go find someone else's comment and leave them a little bit of love. It could be reassurance, it could be a compliment, it could just be "hey, you're not alone, I'm thinking of you 💛". Try to find comments that don't have replies yet so nobody gets left out!

We used to do these a LOT round here but I've been slipping on them, and now feels like the right time to bring it back. So let's go, time to be REALLY FU***NG GOOD TO EACH OTHER. 💜💙💚🌈🌞

Stress – what does it really mean?
Stress is a part of everyday living – the demands that life places upon us. Our body responds to stress by secreting the hormone adrenaline that prepares us for ‘fight or flight’, to deal with a threatening situation. The blood sugar level is raised to produce extra energy, muscles tense in order to react quickly, breathing speeds up and the heart rate increases to pump more blood to the muscles. All of these actions, initiated by the sympathetic nervous system, occur whether the stress is physical or psychological, and they are switched on automatically, before our conscious mind can analyse the event rationally.
