Today is @ruokday? Day, a powerful reminder that a simple question can make a big difference in someone's life. Being there for one another means asking those simple, yet deeply meaningful questions like "RU OK?" It's about offering a listening ear, and letting someone know they are not alone. Let’s all take a moment today to show we care – because it’s ok to not be ok. . . . . #luxeducation #mentalhealth #ruokday #ruok #mentalillnessawareness #mentalhealthrecovery #mentalhealthhelp #mentalhealthmatters #itsokaytonotbeokay #ruokdayiseveryday #ruokdayaustralia #ruokdayeveryday #yougotthis #mentalhealthsupporter #mentalhealthsupporters #mentalhealthsupport #breakthestigma #mentalhealthawareness
Love wearing my @ruokday kit to remind us that #itsokaynottobeokay and to #starttheconversation #ruokday #ruokdayiseveryday
While snacks and goodies are always appreciated any day, today was R U Ok day. I am greatful to work with so many people who really care not just today but everyday and when they ask are you ok, it’s always in a meaningful and caring way. We should always remember to ask are you ok and listen. Sometimes it’s just knowing some one cares that can make all the difference in turning your day around. #ruokday #ruokdayiseveryday
R U OK can be a pretty important question. You don't have to ask the random chick at the shop this arvo if she's OK, it doesn't have to be a hard thing to do! If your like me and time just slips away from you... touch base with that friend you've been meaning to. A simple 'hey, how have you been?' can start the convo.... you never know who needs to hear someone cares. ❤ #ruok #ruokdayiseveryday #reconnect #kindness #nojudgement
Sometimes we arnt ok, and that's ok. You don't need to ask some if they are ok because someone made a day about it. R U OK DAY is everyday. So many people deal, suffer and live with issues that they feel are too much to burden anyone else with. Tonight I'm shaking from the inside out with anxiety (check out my story). But I am blessed with such a great platform of communication. If you need to DM me. #wlsjourney #wlsaustralia #wlsselfie #weightlosssurgery #weisghtloss #weightlossjourney #weightlosstransformation #vsgaustralia #vsgjourney #vsgcommunity #vsg #wls #changingmechangingways #beforeandafter #beyourbestself #mumlife #momlife #bodypositivemovement #bodypositivity #lowtoxliving #growth #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #ruokdayiseveryday #ruok #anxiety #depression #changeforthebetter #thisismylife

So proud of you and we hope you continue to grow into someone who you are going to be proud of someday. Continue to embrace life as it is, full of enthusiasm and hope.

According to the World Health Organization, the biggest psychological impact of the pandemic is increased rates of stress and anxiety. But with limited access to our usual means of decompressing – such as seeing our friends, taking a holiday, shopping or seeing a movie – we need to look closer to home for our stress relief. And there’s no better way to fight the pandemic fog than with puzzles. The mental health benefits of puzzles are (excuse the pun) mind-boggling. They increase our brain’s ability to produce dopamine, a feel-good chemical that improves concentration, memory and motivation. They encourage everyday mindfulness and promote relaxation – and they’re a great distraction from those screens! So next time you’re feeling down-and-out, do your mental health a favour and reach for a puzzle. See? We told you we take our fun seriously!
Whether you’re a beginner builder or a master craftsman, Hobbyco has got something to get you off the screen, away from the keyboard and into the wonderful and rewarding world of model building. When you take on one of Hobbyco’s immense range of model and LEGO building kits, you’re not just building a model. You’re also strengthening your fine motor skills, firing up your creative thinking and problem-solving abilities, and practicing resilience and perseverance. Collaborate with a friend or family member and you’ll also be building teamwork and communication skills. And it’s FUN! See? We told you we take our fun seriously!
[ #RUOK? Day] Learn how to be a good friend and ask R U OK? Help a struggling friend, beat the pandemic blues with Hobbyco. Are you sinking into a quagmire of binge-watching and couch-dwelling? Concerned about how much screen time your kids are getting? Looking for a way to help a struggling friend? It’s time to reset your brain, rekindle your creativity, and rediscover fun with Hobbyco. Not only are our puzzles, games, model kits and LEGO the perfect antidote to the realities of life in a pandemic – they also deliver HUGE benefits for mental health, creativity, focus. problem-solving skills and more.

Your DIGITAL WAVE with Ash and Dave 👋🏻 ▪️Today is @ruokday With this years 2021 theme ‘Are they REALLY ok?’ 🟡 Dave and I checked in with the boss, Mayor Dean Rees, to ask if him if he’s ok. 🟡 At the @wangaratta_council we are always encouraging our community to reach out and ask if someone is ok, really. Not just today, but everyday. 🟡 It’s okay to say you’re not ok; even if you feel it’s not worthy compared to someone else you know facing difficulty. You matter! 💬To ask someone R U OK, you don’t need to be an expert to reach out, just a good listener. 1️⃣ Ask, R U really OK? 2️⃣ Listen to what’s going on for that person with an open mind. Remember not to compare others. 3️⃣ Encourage action. ‘How would you like me to support you?’ ‘it might be useful to…’ 4️⃣ Remember to Check in. ‘I have been thinking of you…’ Be ready, be prepared, pick your moment. Stay in touch - reach out to your friends, family colleagues or a stranger. A conversation can save a life. #itsnotweaktospeak #ruokdayiseveryday @lifelineaustralia @beyondblueofficial mens @kidshelplineau @1800respect_australia @suicidelinevictoria @reachout_aus @headspace_aus @gritandresilienceprogram
I feel like this quote has never made more sense…in all aspects of business life and personal life! 🙏🏽 Right now, people are struggling across Australia and the rest of the world. Many businesses have finally been able to take one step forward but then another 100 steps backwards. But this is a reminder that “A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.” Now more than ever it is important to stay motivated and focused on your dreams and aspirations. Never forget why you started what you did and why you must continue moving forward. If you are struggling, this is a sign to keep going. You can do this! All the love and support from us at Tourism Tribe 💞💞 #TourismThrive #RUOKDAYISEVERYDAY #socialmedia #quotes #inspirationalquotes #ajourneyofathousandmiles
Today is RU OK’s national day of action when together we remind each other that every day is the day to ask, “Are you OK?” . This year the theme is ‘There’s more to say than ‘R U OK’ which is more important than ever right now. . Thank-you RU OK for this great reminder and important tips. We will endeavor to 🔸Ask 🔸Listen 🔸Encourage action 🔸Check in . @ruokday @springosteo #springosteo #startaconversation #ruok #ruokday2020 #ruokdayiseveryday
RUOK? Today I am. But for a long time I was not. Depression and anxiety controlled my life for the best part of 10 years. At some points I couldn’t see any light at the end of the tunnel and at my darkest points I was ready to give up entirely. I’m forever grateful for those who have stood by me and I understand why others could not. Depression, anxiety and the control it had over me, made me unrecognisable to myself. I felt unlovable and unworthy of anyone’s love or kindness. Panic attacks were crippling and the feeling of impending doom was inescapable. There were moments where I would feel glimpses of the happy person I know I am at my core, but before I got help, these grew fewer and further between. Speaking up and seeking help was one of the hardest things I’ve had to do. But I’m not sure I’d be here today if I hadn’t. I’m forever grateful for my husband @danstacka, who has stood by my side through thick and thin. For his ongoing support and pulling me up on my shit when I’m struggling and need a reminder to look after myself ♥️ After my mum passed away I really started to struggle again. I knew I needed to make some changes. Looking back at what made me happiest, it was playing team sports and feeling like I was part of a community. Exercise plays a massive part in helping me stay on top of my mental health so I decided I’d combine the two. I took a massive leap of faith and opened @f45_training_victoriapoint and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made. I get to help people look after their physical and mental health, while looking after my own. Most days I feel like I get more from my members and my amazing team than I could ever give back and I will never take this for granted ♥️ It hasn’t been all smooth sailing. It’s taken a lot of work, lifestyle changes, ongoing learning and self development. Sometimes I trip and fall but now I have the tools to pick myself back up quicker each time ☺️ Moral to the story... there is always light at the end of the tunnel and things WILL get better. It won’t be easy and it will take work but speaking out and asking for help is the bravest thing you can do 💛 #itaintweaktospeak #ruok #ruokdayiseveryday
R U OK? DAY. Today is a reminder to ask EVERY DAY if someone is ok. Remember that asking if someone is ok, is just the start of the conversation. If you ask them you need to be ready to listen to what is on their mind. Today is a reminder that not everyone is ok and that life has many ups and downs. I think we have all learnt that more than ever this year. It is important to check in on those that you care about. Lets start the conversation. R U OK? #cocoshore #cocoshorebeauty #ruokday #ruokday2020 #starttheconversation #ruokeveryday #ruokdayaustralia #ruokdayiseveryday #ruokday💛 #ruokdayawareness #startheconversationtoday #ruokconversation #checkin #mentalhealth
Yesterday was r u ok day for 2019!! If you notice a change in someones behaviour no matter how small, trust your gut, speak up and ask if they are ok! Sometimes a conversation is all it takes to change someone’s life💛 #ruokday2019 #ruokdayiseveryday #trustthesigns #trustyourgut #askruok

It was an honour being a part of the first ever 'Get Broker FIT' workshop today as part of #ruokday . @sam_makhoul_author was joined on stage by #upgradeyourlife2020 speakers and A Higher Branch faculty members @alessandra.edwards and @astillmind to help Brokers upgrade their performance, reduce stress and be more productive. A great initiative that ignited some very important conversations. We can't wait to do it all again next year 🤗.
💛 💛 💛 You wouldn't know from this smiling face that 8 years ago I was in the depths of post-natal depression. It didn't come on until Indigo was a maybe 3-4 months (I honestly don't remember this period very well) so I didn't think it was PND and I hid it well, from my husband, my family and my friends until I was at the MCHN when Indigo was 12 months (I think) and the nurse asked "are you ok, mentally?" and I said, "oh yes, I'm fine". My sister (bless her) said "no you're not" and that was the first step. Acknowledgement made it real. And from there I started to get better. When you're there, living each moment in PND it's hard to see the light, and I guess that's why yellow is the perfect colour for #ruokday. It's the colour of the light at the end of the tunnel. Mental health is such an important aspect of our lives but so often we struggle through, thinking it's not important or, because we can't see it and it's "all in our heads", it's not real. It is real, very real, and lived experience tells me it can have dire consequences. If you think someone's struggling the simple question of "are you OK?" can make all the difference in the world. 💛💛💛 R U OK? 🧡Ways I take care of my mental health: 💙Water 💙If you know me you know I drink I truck load of water. 💚Diet 💚So much good green stuff, nothing processed. ♥️Exercise ♥️OK soooo not my favourite thing but I enjoy once I've got going. I've joined the fantastic @tiffxo program which helps with 💚 and ♥️ 💜Meditation 💜My new favourite thing! I've made it a habit of late and it's made me feel so calm, my anxiety is kept at bay. *sigh* 💛And if these don't work? Ask for help, talk to a friend, talk to a professional. Whatever you think will help YOU. 💛💛💛 If you're struggling please call Lifeline on 13 11 14 or Beyond Blue on 1300 22 4636. 💛💛💛
Speak up, shout out, get outside and connect with your tribe of family, friends and even the four legged ones. RUOK Is everyday!🥰 #ruokday #ruokday2019 #ruokdayiseveryday #beyondblue #lifeline

Couldn’t be more stoked to have this legend as part of our band of misfits Repost from @tianafaheyleigh using @RepostRegramApp - If you see me out and about, I’m bubbly,bright and confident. I love training hard, dancing like no one is watching, eating delicious foods, I’m a little bit competitive and I will do almost anything to try and make someone’s day a bit brighter. I also happen to overthink the simplest of situations (a lot) and I have a constant voice in my head telling me I’m not worthy of many things in my life. Anxiety is not logical but it’s there and has been since my late teens. Sometimes the voice is really soft and easy to ignore and push aside and other times it’s not so easy to shut out. The past week or so that voice has been so loud it’s almost deafening. I haven’t felt the way I do in quite some time but I’m lucky and I know it won’t be around for long. I have worked hard to develop a set of skills to assist me with working through these emotions that I am getting better at utilising. I’m really thankful that I have people around me who “get” me and who I can speak openly to about not exactly being 100% OK when these thoughts and feelings appear. I do want to remind you, there is nothing wrong with NOT being OK. Speak up. Talk about it. Break the stigma. If you don’t have the tools to bring yourself out of a “slump” please talk to someone - be it a professional or someone you trust. Im incredibly proud to be associated with @risefoundationaust - @bthiggsrfa is doing incredible things for Mental Health awareness. I’ve heard too many stories of late about people feeling alone and thinking they have no where else to turn. Life can sometimes feel really lonely and scary and overwhelming but I can assure you there are always people who love you and will be there to listen, hug and help. #itaintweaktospeak #risefoundationaust #ruokdayiseveryday #bekindalways

In days of struggle when words cannot describe the soul and heavy doubt reaches in fearing that the sun will not rise through this enduring fog. When the fluttering of imperfection leaves the mind weak as though all that’s left to do is run. When the mud becomes quicksand and your legs feel they can no longer hold you. The brave will stand, the bold will stay, and those with courage will allow it all in and not be shaken by its presence. // Kea Gargiulo. #wildflower #sunset #moon #darkness #light #stars #freedom #depressed #wander #anxiety #depression #moon #moonlight #dreamers #nightsky #blue #gratitude #stars #photography #moonshiners #writersofinstagram #instagood #light #depression #beyondblue #headspace #anxiety #solitude #humble #youmatter #writer #poetry #ruokdayiseveryday #beach #sunset #moonlight
It can be wounding for the soul to remain unyieldingly cruel to the self. But if the soul was to read a story of their own I wonder by the end of it if they would find themselves turning the pages as gently as they could. - From: Kinder to self. #wildflower #sunset #moon #darkness #light #stars #freedom #depressed #wander #anxiety #depression #moon #moonlight #dreamers #nightsky #blue #gratitude #stars #photography #moonshiners #writersofinstagram #instagood #light #depression #beyondblue #headspace #anxiety #solitude #humble #youmatter #writer #poetry #ruokdayiseveryday #beach #sunset #moonlight

The void: It reaches in like a gust of darkness endlessly labelling the soul as invalid, and without a care it can sink you deep into an open gulf of eerie drought and unmoving bleak. The places you would go to belong, to feel whole, to overgrow in your authentic beauty, feel taken from you. This wounds you deeply but you walk on although the days seem long and nights much, much longer. But then on some unknown day the horizon comes and you find yourself slowly passing over that engulfing void and start to feel yourself heal, feel worthy of being, and whole in ways you were not before. // Kea Gargiulo // Photo credit unknown. #wildflower #sunset #moon #darkness #light #stars #freedom #depressed #wander #anxiety #depression #moon #moonlight #dreamers #nightsky #blue #gratitude #stars #photography #moonshiners #writersofinstagram #instagood #light #depression #beyondblue #headspace #anxiety #solitude #humble #youmatter #writer #poetry #ruokdayiseveryday #beach #sunset #bold

Tell me of those dusty dreams hidden deep beneath the soul, and I will tell you of a dauntless sea that basks in hope and endless possibility. Tell me of the dark, and I will tell you of a sky so full of light that it could heal even the darkest of hearts.

Silent fighter: I am holding a rock too heavy for me as I wade through my dread with endless fatigue. I try to let go but my hands won't free as the weight of the rock has me struggling to breathe. I'm overrun and feel nothing but numb, tameless is my mind, but I drag my feet along. My unsettled soul is all diminished and blue but something keeps telling me, "I will get through". So I keep my head up as best that I can and hold on to that rock with both of my hands. I will get through but I must not let go, for that rock is my treasure, but only I know. // Kea Gargiulo #wildflower #sunset #moon #darkness #light #stars #freedom #depressed #wander #anxiety #depression #moon #moonlight #dreamers #nightsky #blue #gratitude #stars #photography #moonshiners #writersofinstagram #instagood #light #depression #beyondblue #headspace #anxiety #solitude #humble #youmatter #writer #poetry #ruokdayiseveryday

Some days I fall apart. Others I place myself gently in amongst the stars to heal as the moon would, embracing the whole of me knowing I need not be more nor less. The earths wild beauties remind me that the joy to authentically just be is here for you and me if we allow it to be so. We need not be more of this or less of that but at peace with who we are and where we are at today in this very moment. // Kea Gargiulo // Photo credit unknown. 🌝✨🌙 #wildflower #sunset #moon #darkness #light #stars #freedom #depressed #wander #anxiety #depression #moon #moonlight #dreamers #nightsky #blue #gratitude #stars #photography #moonshiners #writersofinstagram #instagood #light #depression #beyondblue #headspace #anxiety #solitude #humble #youmatter #writer #poetry #ruokdayiseveryday

I was holding a whole lotta nothing, but I had to try. Lady Pokerface, might play her wild deuce, and say "Come to Vegas. Let's hear your version of Bad Romance, on the power empathy can give women, to help other women work their way out of feeling powerless and disrespected". 2019 would suddenly look one hell of a lot brighter.) #Saxoffender #ladygaga #vivbish #ruokday2019 #ianmckellen #hillaryclinton #btwfoundation #theellenshow #johnnydepp #artforhumanity #art #sax #badromance #theladyisatramp #thejack #pokerface #wholelottalove #alicecooper #tonybennett #compassion #btwfoundationteam #worldsuicidepreventionday

Today is ruok day, but to me ruok is every day. Doesn't matter how embarrassed you are for the way you are feeling talk to me. I am a good listener and understand how you feel i still go through days where i am not feeling the best. But i also know what it feels like when someone does the unthinkable. Your heart never heals. #ruok #ruokday #ruokdayiseveryday #itsoktonotbeok #alwayshere #good listener #talktome
It’s ok not to be ok 💛🖤 Please speak up and ask those in your life how they are doing 💛🖤 All it takes is a conversation, a gesture, a smile to make someone else feel like they matter 💛🖤 #ruok #ruokdayiseveryday

According to jen.... www.relationshipbootcamp.com.au #ruokdayiseveryday #slowdownandaskquestion R U OK? Day is a day to remind us all to ask family, friends and colleagues, "R U OK?" in a truely meaningful way. The word 'meaningful' is perhaps the centre of what the day is truely about. Most people who truly need help are often unable to reach out. Most people who are generally struggling wont be able to call the hotline. Mental illness can sometimes have such a strong hold over life that it can cloud thoughts, consume the mind and convince you that you can not pick up the phone or reach out and tell someone what is really going on for you. R U OK? Day encourages us all to reach out to those around us and let them know you are there. Start the conversation. Be brave enough to ask. And be strong enough to sit with the response. Tips for asking R U OK? * Be mindful of space and time. Have you allowed time for the person to answer? If they need to talk or are struggling, do you have the space to have a meaningful conversation with them. * What could you say if someone told you that they are NOT ok? Check yourself and your responses. Can you handle what someone has to say? Remember that this is a time to hold back judgements and comments. * ASK QUESTIONS rather than TELL someone what to do - often people who are struggling can become very sensitive to others opinions and people's comments on how to 'fix ' how they feel. Ask questions rather than tell. Example:" I am sorry that you are feeling this way. What can I do to help?" Or "Sounds like you are going through a lot right now. What is it you need from me?" Or "I can hear you are not okay. Thank you for trusting me enough to share this. Can we call the doctor together? Would you like to come over or meet up tomorrow as well?" Asking in a meaningful way and providing genuine connection and care can make all the difference in the life of someone who is struggling. Lifeline: 13 11 14

According to jen..... Www.relationshipbootcamp.com.au #jensthoughtoftheday #sassybutreal #challengingbehaviour #ruokdayiseveryday How often do you see this in your interactions with others? Sometimes sharing what you really think and feel isn't always easy. Time to find your tribe. Connect to others. Talk about it and be okay with vulnerability. It is okay, not to be okay.
