Comments[edit source]

Hi, firstly such a good topic, looks great so far! Just a suggestion to deepen your ideas, that it might be advantageous to add a little section about hormones and or neurotransmitters. For example a couple sentences on the "feel good hormones" like oxytosin, that might make your argument even stronger and add even more research to what you already have. This might be a good inclusion in you sympotoms of flourishing. Keep it up ! --U3160678 (discusscontribs) 05:52, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi :) Just added a ')' to one of your references. And I bolded the reference for your figure 1 just to draw your attention to the fact that you may not need that bit as the image will have the reference link for you. Good luck its looking great!!! - --MaddieCarleton (discusscontribs) 22:53, 16 October 2018 (UTC) 17/10/2018[reply]

Example boxes[edit source]

Hi Gabi! Your chapter looks like its coming along great, I really look forward to seeing the finished product! I went into the source code and added a div tag with some padding to both your example boxes, this will pull the content away from the borders of the box making it easier to read. I hope this helps! --Brittany (u3117719) (discusscontribs) 04:01, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
