It's and the message is: Ask R U OK? Any Day.

Whether it’s your friend, family member, colleague, partner, or teammate, the people you care about go through life’s ups and downs every day.

That's why we're encouraging people across Australia to check in and ask someone, 'are you OK?'.

Not just today, but ANY day. Because a conversation could change a life.

🍞One of our go-to’s for comfort and peace of mind in tough times; the Burnt Toast Theory.

“If you burn your toast in the morning, the time you spend making another toast may have saved you from something unwanted happening or make you late to a meeting but you meet someone on the way that will become special in your life.”

In life, it's really very easy to feel overwhelmed when everything seems to go wrong at once and the world comes crashing down on you. You wake up late, forget to send an email, burn your toast, miss your bus, arrive late at work, and miss out on an important meeting. You fail an exam and break up with a loved one you never thought of losing.

These seemingly disastrous events might actually be blessings in disguise. For instance, being late to work because of burnt toast, could have spared you from getting into an accident. While additional inconveniences are the last thing you'd want, they might be precisely what you need to avoid bigger problems and discover unexpected opportunities.

The Universe is looking out for you. Shift your perspective. Be patient and trust the process!
