Hi TR Johny, yes, music can be uplifting and help at times when we're feeling low or need some energy.

But I find things to do. I like to cook. I like to go out. Yes snacking ,chatting on the phone,hearing a dear ones voice all this keeps me going.

I like the idea of coffee buddies. I think it’s more important than ever to be conscious about creating a sense of belonging and provide opportunities to connect. Leaders also need to take into account the preferences of their team members, recognising that some are more introverted, so activities need to respond to different needs.
