Hi everyone,
Hoping we can start to share some of the ways we look after our social and emotional wellbeing in this thread!
Is it keeping a diary, drawing or painting, or kicking off your shoes on Country and going for a walk? Come share your stories or resources here so others can get some ideas or inspiration 🖤💛❤️

@Yuinblackduck73 @rav3n @Rhymster
I look after my emotional wellbeing by seeing my psychologist often.
I looked after my social wellbeing today by visiting and spending time with my best friend

reading's so good! any particular books that have left an impression you? @Rhymster
@Yuinblackduck73 i love how something as simple as taking a bus can help us feel connected with others.
@Oaktree great to hear that your support systems have been helpful, and i imagine the consistency around them have made an impact too!

Lately I have really been doing much, socially it’s just at work and emotionally it’s just been watching movies, spending time with the dogs and the odd bath here and there @rav3n

@Captain24 work, movies, baths and pets! such a great combination of things that connect us to ourselves and others!
@Yuinblackduck73 absolutely agree, the simple things hold a lot of power and beauty! art's such a great expressive tool, what's been the inspiration/theme behind your latest painting?

Hi @rav3n
Mainly I use getting in to nature for my SEWB
I use photography a lot while I'm doing that
I do a little bit of weaving from stuff I find in nature
Sorry I'm away for a bit for a sport comp in Queensland so won't be accessing the forums
Look forward to seeing responses when I return
