What does ?? mean to you? 'Have you seen this??' To me, that second ? changes everything. One ? feels like a question. Two ?? feels like: 'Why haven’t you replied? I’m waiting!' 😬 Tiny things can change how a message lands. So… what does ?? mean to you? 😉

Don’t give a 10-minute problem the rest of your day. 👉️ The awkward conversation 👉️ The irritating email 👉️ The comment you keep replaying Deal with it. Then try to let it go. 🩵 Not everything deserves that much of your headspace.

Could a hug help protect us from stress? 🤗 A study of 400+ adults found frequent huggers were better protected against the increased risk of infection linked to stress. And if infected, they showed less severe signs of illness. Perhaps there’s more to a hug than we think. tinyurl.com/3xn5mbe9

💡 We need to stop viewing wellbeing as just an individual responsibility. 🤔 Of course, there are things we can all do to look after ourselves at work. BUT workload, culture, relationships, leadership, and how work is designed all matter too. Visual inspired by University of Oxford.

Being 10 minutes late doesn't just cost the person who is late 10 minutes – it costs everyone else 10 minutes too. Most people are late because something gets in the way. However, arriving late can unintentionally send the message: 'My time is more important than yours.'
