    Plan one check-in with someone you've been meaning to catch up with.

    It can be a socially distanced meet-up or a virtual coffee date, but it's more important than ever to connect with others. Not only does connecting raise our spirits, it also supports immune functioning and helps us manage anxiety.

    However busy you may be, find time to check in with someone who matters to you. Even a quick text can give you a sense of connection and support. Ask them how they are doing and don’t hesitate to tell them how you are doing and feeling.


    Tuesday - Daily Activity Introduction



    Gratitude is one of the many positive emotions. It’s about focusing on what’s good in our lives and being thankful for the things we have.
