This week the Brain Bath?! takes a trip through the office jungle exploring the animal inside us all. Are you the king of the jungle or are you at the bottom of the food chain? Perhaps you are a cute fluffy Koala who is calm cuddly but probably not very active.
Share with our community your animal magic and let us know if you had to choose an animal that most represents your characteristics which you'd be. Perhaps your animal doesn’t live in the jungle perhaps it lives in the stationery cupboard?
