It’s an incredibly British thing to suggest, but having a warm drink can help to soothe and comfort you if you’re feeling worked up and stressed out. Taking the time to stop and let the kettle boil, and the tea bag brew is a good way to stop and give yourself a minute to breathe if you’re feeling out of control.

Sharing a cuppa with someone else is a great way to start a conversation as well – talking over tea can sometimes be easier than just talking out of the blue.

*It doesn’t have to be tea, if you prefer coffee or even hot squash (if you’ve never tried it, you’re missing out).
