Hey Everyone, welcome to tonight’s Getting Real Session!

 

Tonight @Magga and I will be talking about all things that make you feel those warm fuzzies and give you a sense of wellbeing, as well as ways to improve it when you're feeling a bit down.  

 

As we want everyone involved in tonight sesh to have a fun, positive experience, it would be great if you could all give the forum guidlines a quick look and keep them in mind. If at any point during tonight's session you feel upset or not right I encourage you to take a look at the emergency help tab in the top right hand corner.

 

Well lets get started with the first question!

One of the greatest ways of increasing your wellbeing is by spending some time with your pets (or animals in general). Tell us a little bit about your favourite creatures in your life (yours, your friend’s, that one you see every morning down the road etc)

The dog that lives out the back. As much as I hate how annoying he is when he tries to escape the yard, he is always up for a pat or a good belly rub.

Welcome to the sesh @stonepixie ! Ah I hate it when they try and do a runner, but pats and bellyrubs are geat 🙂

I used to own a fish! They are definitely underrated! I used to talk to him all the time and he would just sort of float and look at me.

Shh @Magga! What I meant was that he would be swimming around his tank but as soon as I started talking to him, he would swim over to where ever I was and just stay there listening.

As a few of you may remember, my dog passed away fairly recently. Her name was Yoyo and she was almost 14 🙂

Over the years I've also have budgies and various types of fish. Fish are such underrated pets!

My cat is my favourite creature in my life! She is a chocolate-coloured burmese and is very cute (Except when she tries to bite/scratch me haha). I would upload a photo but I'm not on the right computer. Cuddling her when she's in a good mood definitely makes me happy 🙂

Yeah we have a family cat named Sasha...and we make her love us.  😛  She's not very friendly.  But she is super cute.  Oh and we have a turtle named Benson.

Wooo! Nice one lokifish! 🙂

I have a dog called Benji. He's a border collie, about 2 years old, and he has heaps of energy! Lots of fun to play with.

I've got two little furballs (or... dogs as they're better known :P) called Nellie and Scout. They drive me up the wall sometimes, but they're awesome 😄
