R U OK?

Why R U OK? Day Matters and How We Can All Make a Difference.

Every September, we’re reminded of the simple yet powerful question that can truly change lives: R U OK?

R U OK? Day is about more than just words. It’s an invitation to pause, connect and listen with compassion. It’s a gentle nudge to look beyond the surface and notice how the people around us are really going. Sometimes, all it takes is one conversation to help someone feel seen, heard and supported.

At Luna & Soul, we believe mindfulness isn’t just about the mat – it’s about how we show up in everyday life. When we check in with ourselves and those we care about, we create ripples of kindness that reach far beyond us. Asking “R U OK?” is an act of presence and listening with love is a gift that costs nothing but means everything.

If you’re not sure how to start, here are four mindful steps:

1. Ask the question with openness.

2. Listen with compassion, without judgement.

3. Encourage small steps forward.

4. Check in again – connection is ongoing.

To support your journey, we’ve created a mindful R U OK? Day collection. From affirmation cardsthat bring daily encouragement, to books and  journals that hold space for reflection, to calming crystals and wellbeing tools – each piece is chosen to nurture balance and support meaningful conversations.

This R U OK? Day, let’s choose to slow down, check in, and share kindness. Because when we ask the question – and truly listen – we remind each other that none of us are alone.
