By Ladan Lashkari

A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds: "What does love mean?"

The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think...

................................................

"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love."

Rebecca - age 8

"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different.
You just know that your name is safe in their mouth."

Billy - age 4

HEY THESE ARE REALLY GOOD. YOU SHOULD GIVE SOME A TRY.
SOMETIMES WE ONLY NEED THE SIMPLE THINGS - NOT COMPLICATED.

By Ida-Marie Palm Varaek

You don’t need a weekend retreat or hours of meditation to calm down.

According to Science, just five minutes of small, intentional actions can help your body relax.

Take Five Deep Breaths

Your breath is directly connected to your Nervous System.

Deep, slow breathing can lower blood pressure, calm your heart rate, and reduce cortisol - the stress hormone linked to poor sleep and brain fog.

Try "coherent breathing": inhale for six seconds, exhale for six - steady and slow.

Hug Someone Or Hold A Hand

Touch releases oxytocin, the "love hormone" that helps to regulate stress.

A 20-second hug can lower your heart rate and blood pressure. Self-touch works too - place a hand on your heart, rub your arms, or gently touch your face.…

Let’s dive in and explore ten life experiences that psychology says have been quietly transforming you into a better version of yourself.

Learning the Beauty of Small Talk
It can be Beneficial

Whether it's at a party, a friend's wedding, or the workplace, some people just dread small talk. And while these events are great places to meet new people, it can bring more anxiety than excitement for some. They might worry that it will be boring, awkward, or that they'll run out of things to say. Then there are people who believe small talk represents meaningless and trivial conversation. But it doesn't have to be that way! In reality, increased well-being and positivity are some of the benefits of small talk.

People with hobbies and interests always seem to have a topic or an opinion to share. Get inspired by them, and you'll have a launching point to get someone else involved in conversation.

Get your mind right

If you spend the week before the event anticipating and worrying because you know you'll feel uncomfortable, you're setting yourself up for failure.…

Published on Leave a comment on Did You Know That Having A Pet Is Good For Our Mental Health? 6 Reasons!

Hi Folks, I had a lot of time on my hands 20 Years ago and I can see the benefit having a Nice little Pet would be for someone with Disturbed Thoughts of some kind - which Mental Health presents us with often. People often feel Lonely or Bored too, and experiencing Unconditional Love from a Pet that shows affection could be a really Uplifting Experience for them. And this could possibly also serve to snap some people out of episodes of Rumination. I have a Nice Neighbour who really Loves her Bow Wow......she takes him for 15-30 Minute Walks through a Small Park in front of my house and a few streets each day. It makes him very happy. And they love to sit together in her Living Room and play together.
