A big study looked at sleep habits in over 5,700 people aged 7 to 79 over more than 50 years. They found that not getting enough sleep can make you feel less happy and more likely to feel anxious or sad. Dr. Jo Bower, who led the study, explained that feeling down can make it harder to enjoy hanging out with friends or doing fun stuff, which could lead to feeling even more depressed. She also mentioned that in today’s world, where many people don’t get enough sleep, staying up late could potentially affect your determination to keep up with your wellbeing. Is this your personal experience?

Ever met someone who seems stuck in their own world? That’s what we call emotionally immature folks. They might look grown-up on the outside, but inside, they’re like kids emotionally. They tend to:

Always put themselves first.
Don’t really get how you’re feeling.
Rarely feel guilty about stuff they do.
Ignore your feelings and safety.
Keep making the same mistakes over and over.
Never really think about their actions.
Can’t see things from your point of view.
Have a history of drama in relationships.
Twist reality to fit how they feel.
Act on impulse without thinking things through.
Get super clingy in relationships but not really connect emotionally.
Focus more on things than feelings.
Avoid dealing with their emotions.
And being around them can be tough. You might feel anxious, confused, or just drained. It’s like you’re talking to a wall, and your feelings don’t matter
to them. They might even make you question your own reality, leaving you feeling totally scrambled in the brain. It’s not you – it’s their way of coping with things. But dealing with them a lot can really mess with your head, leading to feelings of depression, anxiety, or even post-traumatic stress.

We can write really nice letters to show how much we appreciate and care about someone special in our lives. We can tell them all the things we love about them and why they’re so important to us. These letters are like precious gifts that mean a lot! Other type of therapeutic letters:
Self-acceptance, self-care, self-reflection, self-compassion,self-confidence, future self-reflection, personal growth, gratitude, forgiveness and resilience letters.
Contact us if you wish to have free tips on how to write one of these letters💌

Emotional flooding happens when your feelings take over and your body goes into overdrive. It’s like a wave of emotions that’s too big for you to handle calmly. This can make you feel like your emotions are out of control and sometimes even lead to anxiety attacks. It’s important to think about how you deal with emotional flooding when you’re feeling clear-headed and calm. Creating a plan to handle strong emotions before they get overwhelming is key. And if it does get too much, try box breathing to help relax and reset your body.💆🏻‍♀️.

Physical: Listen to your body’s signals like aches, pains, or fatigue; they indicate life imbalance. Find deeper calm by tuning into your body.

Environment: Adjust your surroundings by decluttering, adding light, and greenery for a calmer space. Environmental cues impact your calmness through all senses, not just visually.

Spiritual: Reflect on your core values and align your mindset and behavior accordingly. Simple changes like kindness, deep listening, and avoiding gossip can foster spiritual calm.

Relational: Improve your relationships by giving quality attention, anchoring moments of calm in your day and soothing the nervous system.

Engage in the habit of journaling
Regardless of the source of your stress be it work related, academic or personal keeping a journal can be a method to address those concerns. Oftentimes we tend to hold onto our worries and anxieties tightly. Expressing them on paper (or digitally) could have a beneficial impact. Research indicates that individuals who dedicated at 15 minutes three times a week, to writing experienced reductions, in their stress levels. 📖✨Pour your thoughts onto paper and navigate the pages of you own story. Join the adventure of self-discovery, growth, and the occasional doodle. Document the chaos and beauty together!

🌈 Hello lovely planetarians! 💫 We’re back with a brand new vibe for mental health.

Sharing is a way of life and you are participating actively & proactively in it.

When you share, mutual trust increases (it needs to take place when there is trust)

You get to know more about the people you are sharing with.

Sharing is very important for human relationships. It opens up a space to cooperate and to connect with each other, which contributes to happiness.

It relieves stress and anxiety.

A challenge for you: get together with friends who have different interests, hobbies, skills, etc. Choose a project where all of you can share your knowledge, enthusiasm, experience & abilities. Decide a common goal for this project and mentor each other throughout. Let us know how it goes or ask us for support in the process!

Alternatively, sharing doesn’t have to be complicated or grand gestures. You can share right now a sincere compliment with a friend/family member.

Hi peeps!
This Monday we will start talking about self-gaslighting.

What is it? Suppression of one’s own thoughts and emotions with negative judgements/insults/expressions that aim to invalidate ourselves and what we are experiencing.

For example: In a situation where your feelings were hurt and without hesitation your thoughts are: ”I am too dramatic/overly sensitive /crazy/too emotional”.

What can you do instead? Remind yourself that your emotions/feelings/thoughts are valid. Others might not agree, but this is OK too!

Planet-Yo supports many young people with training their mind and helps them to improve highly toxic inner dialogues, such as self-gaslighting.

Next week we will discuss point 2: “Communicate without hurting others”

If you would like to be part of our series of free virtual coffee or bubble tea chats, please send us a message ☕️🧋

Wondering what to diffuse to give you a positivity boost? Our tip of the day is to smell Orange essential oil.

That comforting, happy feeling you get when you first dig in to an orange is not a coincidence. Orange peel contains limonene which sends messages to the brain that stimulates your serotonin production which is the happy hormone! Nothing like a bit of happiness to combat stress!

Limonene is also a great antioxidant, antiviral and takes care of your tummy. No wonder a favourite diffuser blend for students is Stressaway and Orange essential oils!

Note: Not all oils are created equally, make sure the company you buy from doesn't use pesticides and distills at the right time and temperature for maximum therapeutic benefits.

DM Ruth at to see how to get Orange oil from Young Living.

At Planet-yo we are all about supporting youth and their contributions. We will like to introduce you to accounts we like to encourage you to learn from your peers. is always encouraging our team to keep going and we value her work. We hope you do too!

Feel free to share the colour of your planet’s sky below!!
In colour psychology, green and blue are generally considered peaceful and calming. Red provokes the strongest emotions of any colour. And yellow promotes happiness and optimism. As you can see, colour is a powerful communication tool within our body and towards others. We will continue talking about colours in our postings – watch out for them.
IN PLANET-YO, WE PREFER LIVING IN COLOUR 😊

¡Puedes compartir el color del cielo de tu planeta abajo!
En la psicología del color, el verde y el azul se considera que dan paz y calman. El rojo provoca las emociones más fuertes de todos los colores. Y el amarillo promueve la felicidad y el optimismo. Como puedes ver, el color es una poderosa herramienta de comunicación dentro de nosotros/as y hacia los demás. Seguiremos hablando de los colores en nuestros posts, así que tienes que estar pendiente…
EN PLANETA-YO, PREFERIMOS VIVIR EN COLOR 😊

Your story matters! Many can benefit from it. It can also be a way to clarify what is important and what you have learnt. It is a powerful way to grow. When it is shared with grateful & caring people, the journey goes from the head to the heart. Have a sharing weekend!

¡Tu historia es importante! Muchos pueden beneficiarse de ella. También puede ser una forma de aclarar lo que es significativo y lo que has aprendido. Es una forma poderosa de crecer. Cuando se comparte con personas agradecidas y solidarias, el viaje va de la cabeza al corazón. ¡Disfruta de tu fin de semana compartiendo!

Do not carry the burden of your mistakes, nor your qualities. Look after your self-esteem by understanding your mistakes. Your mistakes are valuable information for you, and your qualities are your unique tools, helping you in some way to enjoy your life and your relationships with others.
Think about this: How do we learn from mistakes? Why are personal qualities important for your well-being?

No cargues con el peso de tus errores, ni de tus cualidades. Cuida tu autoestima, comprendiendo tus errores. Tus errores son información valiosa para ti, y tus cualidades son herramientas únicas, que te ayudan de alguna forma a disfrutar de tu vida y de tus relaciones con los demás.
Para pensar: ¿Cómo se aprende de los errores? ¿Por qué las cualidades personales son importantes para tu bienestar?

What are you avoiding?
Many of us are very clear about the things we should avoid to lead a healthy life (physical, emotional, mental and social). However, there are others things we avoid that don’t represent a “clear and present danger” to us, these things can be a source of discovery and wisdom.

Muchos de nosotros tenemos muy claro qué cosas debemos evitar para llevar una vida sana (física, emocional, mentalmente y en el entorno social). Sin embargo, hay otras que realmente evitamos y que no representan un "peligro claro y presente" para nosotros, sino que son una fuente de descubrimiento y sabiduría.

Carl Jung said: “You are what you do, not what you say you’ll do”. Do you agree? Do our actions define us?

🧡🧡

Carl Jung dijo: “Eres lo que haces, no lo que dices que vas a hacer”. ¿Estás de acuerdo?, ¿nos definen nuestras acciones?

Failure can be disappointing, but it is also a good tutor, and it could be a starting point.
Activity: Think of the last time you experienced failure. How did you go through it? If you did, what/who helped you? Reason this way: I have done it in the past: I can do it again! You have got the necessary evidence for you to follow in your “right now”.
If you feel you didn’t handle failure well in the past…What do you need to support you during a set back?
This activity is for your “eyes only”. However, if you would like to share or ask any questions, we are here for you🌻

El fracaso puede ser decepcionante, pero también es un buen tutor, y podría ser un punto de partida.
Actividad: Piensa en la última vez que experimentaste un fracaso. ¿Cómo lo superaste? Si lo hiciste, ¿qué/quién te ayudó? Razona de esta manera: Si lo he conseguido en el pasado: ¡Puedo volver a hacerlo! Ya tienes las pruebas necesarias para seguir en tu camino.
Si crees que no has manejado bien el fracaso en el pasado... ¿Qué tipo de apoyo necesitarías?
Esta actividad es personal. Sin embargo, si quieres compartir las respuestas o hacer alguna pregunta, estamos aquí para escucharte🌻

We're back with our featured artist of the month Fanos Avouris. We hope you are enjoying his photography as much as we are!

"You are not a drop in the ocean, you are the entire ocean in a drop"

Volvemos con nuestro artista del mes Fanos Avouris.
¡Esperamos que estéis disfrutando de su trabajo, tanto como nosotr@s!

"No eres una gota en el océano, sino todo un océano en una gota"

Let’s face it. We all want to be liked and respected. “Criticism hurts everybody, praise only some”.
If we pour too much energy and waste time into what others think of us, our self-image and self-esteem will suffer eventually. However, caring about how our actions might impact our family members and dearest friends would be beneficial for the relationships that matter the most.
What do you think?

Seamos sinceros. Todos queremos ser queridos y respetados. "La crítica puede hacer daño a muchos, el encomio a muy pocos".
Si dedicamos demasiada energía y perdemos el tiempo dándole vueltas a lo que los demás piensan de nosotros, nuestra autoimagen y autoestima acabarán por dañarse. Sin embargo, si realmente nos preocupa cómo nuestras acciones afectarán a los miembros de nuestra familia y amigos más cercanos, esto podría ser beneficioso para las relaciones con aquellos que nos importan.
¿Tú que piensas?
