I looove coffee @tyme

Opps! @NightFury Well I got that terribly wrong then!!!

Reminds me of what I say to my niece. I say "I don't love you"..... she often frowns when I say this. Then I say, "I LLLLLOOOOOOOVVVVVEEEE YOU!" Then she smiles lol

So now I know, you LLLLLOOOOOOOVVVVVVEEEEEE cofffee!

That's very cute @tyme

And you made me smile, so thank you for that.

That's kids for you @NightFury

I find being around them helps me find my inner child.

Hope you are not too stressed @NightFury I hear there is a lot of new learning.

Be kind to yourself. Is the Winter Olympics on now? The forums are super quiet!

Kids do really bring out your inner child @tyme I agree and can relate.

Stress is a thing. I don't know if it's stress but today has been hard, heavy and I've been super anxious.

The forums have been really quiet. I don't know if the Winter Olympics is on. I don't really keep up with what's happening or watch sport on TV.

I was listening on the radio to a professor today who spoke about the power to the breathing exercises to help with anxiety @NightFury

She mentioned about box breathing and engaging in the breathing gym each day to lower anxiety and feel in more control. It was a pretty wow talk.

I used box breathing today @tyme on the bowls green. My anxiety was soso overwhelming and I was scared I was going to have a panic attack in front of everyone. I won't say it completely eased things, but it lowered things.

Chewing gum helped too.

you LLLLLOOOOOOOVVVVVVEEEEEE cofffee! toooo @tyme , @NightFury , @MissGremlin , @AlwaysMyself , @AuntGlow but you all know that one 😂🤣😎☕

Only loved coffee since coming to Melb... it's not a Sydney thing... they have TEA @Shaz51 @NightFury

I'd encourage you to keep going with the box breathing... it can really do wonders.

Did I tell you I did a month of smiling mind and I could feel a massive shift? I had to make myself do it at first because I really hated it...

Lol @Shaz51

I don't mind a good tea either @tyme

It took me a while today to remember to use breathing to help. I was kinda in a state though.

I tried to do Smiling Mind, but didn't stick with it. I need to stick with it, I think.
