Tell us - What do you find therapeutic?
For example: 'Sam finds meditation very therapeutic. It helps him relax after a long day at work.' 🧘

[@AlexejSvirid]

John 5:14: "Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee."

[@patriciavieiraferreira3738]

When my house is clean, it's very therapeutic

[@sihembouaoud8226]

Corrected: "I find reading the Islamic book, the Quran, and understanding it to be the most therapeutic thing that has ever existed."

[@kd5099]

When I play with my dogs, I feel therapeutic. 😊

[@lichtundwasser9044]

As a Korean, I think this kind of meditation-related information is really beneficial. I was born raised in a Christian family, but I‘m interested in Buddhism philosophy and David Hume. And I hope that the person who made this video and the viewers will be happy😊

Hi from Brazil!!!! 6 minute English is a wonderful help to improve my English. Tks guys... good job

[@fabiareisoficial9736]

I'm from Brazil. For me, meditation is essential because I've kept focused on my goals and tasks. I feel very well every day and delighted. Here in the West, the civilization did haven't habit of meditation. But lately, these customs have changed some people in the West. And this is very important to the new generations. Thanks BBC!!!!

[@lilianatria2877]

I find it therapeutic to take courses and learn new things every day. Although I belong to the X generation, I recognize myself in the habits and feelings of the millennial generation. In the past, I often searched for information about self-help on the internet and I bought several books about this subject

[@letsplayroblox6062]

Such an interesting topic. Self help is everywhere in fact. I am agree with that. Self help is what we need the most. We always want to be better and self improvement happens. I haven't read a lot of books about self help but I think it would be great for us to read in some point. But otherwise I think those books doesn't help people at all. I always look at what authors could achieve in their lives and why they wrote that book. I think that question is important to ask myself before to start reading in the beginning of the process. Thanks BBC🙌

Nothing is more therapeutic for me than a cold pint of English ale after a long and stressful working day.

Guys, can you give me a hand with Rob’s phrase: ‘didn’t quite scrape in there’ what does it mean? Couldn’t find the definition 😢

[@bbclearningenglish]

When Rob says 'I didn't quite scrape in there', he means that he was born a bit too early to be a millennial!
