There is a quiet kind of magic in holding a pen, in opening a fresh page, in choosing a sticker or a card that speaks to your mood. Stationery is not just a tool—it’s a companion in the art of becoming. It listens without judgment, receives without resistance, and reflects without distortion. To journal is to return. To yourself. To your breath. To the moment that asks to be witnessed. Whether you write in fragments or flowing paragraphs, whether your pages are filled with poetry, plans, or prayers, the act itself is sacred. It affirms your presence. It gives shape to the invisible. It transforms overwhelm into clarity, longing into language, and silence into song. Stationery invites ritual. The choice of color. The placement of a sticker. The rhythm of your handwriting. Each gesture becomes a ceremony of care. In a world that often demands speed and perfection, journaling offers slowness and grace. It is a space where you can be imperfect, emotional, playful, poetic. It is a space where you can be whole. Let your pages hold your becoming. Let your tools reflect your tenderness. Let your rituals remind you: you are here, and you are worthy of being seen. Our stationery is not just paper—it’s presence. Each card, journal, and sticker is designed to hold emotion, memory, and intention. Whether you write to remember, to release, or to ritualize your day, these tools are companions in your creative return. Hardcover Journals for intention and gratitude Journals for Presence Our journals are sanctuaries for your thoughts. Each page invites you to write with intention—whether it’s a poetic memory, a sensory reflection, or a daily ritual. For purchase, please contact us contact@kookofleurs.com   or for more of our stationery.

Published January 13, 2026 — Based on reporting from BFM Business Mental health has taken center stage in the French workplace, and employees are no longer willing to compromise. According to the latest Teale barometer, conducted among 10,000 employees across more than 100 companies, 35% of workers have considered resigning to safeguard their mental well‑being — a sharp signal that the issue has become both personal and strategic. This figure has risen steadily over the past three years (30% in 2023, 34% in 2024), even as overall mental well‑being indicators show slight improvement. The paradox? Employees are getting better at taking care of themselves individually, but organizations are not adapting fast enough to support them. A Slight Improvement in Well‑Being — But a Growing Disconnect The average mental health score among employees has increased from 48/100 in 2023 to 51/100 in 2025, just above the World Health Organization’s alert threshold of 50 on the WHO‑5 index. But this improvement is largely driven by individual self‑care efforts, not by structural changes in the workplace. Employees report learning to regulate stress, protect their boundaries, and manage their emotional load — yet they feel their companies are lagging behind. Key tensions highlighted in the report: - Recognition is declining, despite stable productivity. - Nearly 4 in 10 employees no longer consider workplace stress “manageable.” - Engagement is weakening: employees “hold on,” but feel less attached to their organization. Teale describes this as a “discordance” between personal resilience and organizational inertia — a gap that risks turning into disappointment, disengagement, and ultimately, departures. Unequal Protection: Women and Non‑Managers Most Exposed While “psychological autonomy” has become the norm, not all employees have the same resources to sustain it. The study shows: - Women experience a sharper decline in recognition and positive relationships. - Non‑managers face higher exposure to emotional strain. - Managers, though appreciated by 81% of employees, are stuck in a role of “emotional buffer” without real power to adjust workload or priorities. As Teale cofounder Nicolas Merlaud warns: “Managers cannot be the after‑sales service of an organization under pressure. Mental health must be elevated to the level of strategic decision‑making.” The Cost of Inaction: A Strategic Risk for Employers Poor mental health is not just a human issue — it’s a performance issue. Companies supported by Teale have observed: - 14% reduction in absenteeism risk - 21% reduction in turnover risk - 8% increase in productivity For every €1 invested in mental health, companies avoid €4.40 in costs, according to Teale’s analysis. With mental health designated as a Grande Cause Nationale for the second consecutive year in France, 2026 is shaping up to be a turning point. Experts are calling for a data‑driven, two‑level strategy: 1. Psychological actions - Emotional skills development - Individual support - Stress regulation tools 2. Organizational reforms - Clearer priorities - Adjusted workloads - Stronger managerial support - Protected “no‑contact” time slots 3. Targeted measures - For high‑risk roles - For overstretched support teams - For emotionally demanding professions A Silent Distance That Could Become a Wave of Resignations The 2025 barometer sends a clear message: mental health is no longer a “nice‑to‑have” — it is a decisive factor in employee loyalty and company performance. If organizations fail to evolve, the growing gap between employees’ expectations and workplace realities may soon translate into mass departures — and significant financial losses.. Rebuilding Workplaces Where Well‑Being Can Breathe Again A sustainable path forward begins with treating mental health as a structural priority rather than an individual responsibility. Companies that want to avoid a wave of preventable resignations need to clarify workloads, protect real recovery time, and give managers the authority—not just the duty—to regulate pressure. When organizations pair emotional support with concrete operational changes, employees no longer feel they must choose between their well‑being and their job. This shift not only preserves talent but strengthens trust, engagement, and long‑term performance. “When work begins to breathe again, the soul remembers its own rhythm — and the whole garden of life grows lighter.” — Koöko Fleurs

A gentle practice of presence, dignity, and inner companionship. There is a quiet art that rarely gets taught, yet shapes the way we move through the world more than any skill or achievement. It is the art of being with yourself — not as a project to fix, not as a performance to maintain, but as a living presence to accompany with tenderness. For many of us, being alone with ourselves feels unfamiliar, even unsettling. We fill the silence, outrun the discomfort, or turn toward others to avoid the rawness of our own inner landscape. But beneath the noise, there is a deeper truth: we long for our own company. Not the perfected version — the real one. A gentle return Being with yourself begins with a return. Not a dramatic one — a soft, almost imperceptible shift. A moment where you stop reaching outward and turn inward, as if placing a hand on your own shoulder. It might happen in the pause between two breaths. In the quiet after a long day. In the stillness of early morning. Or in the moment you realize you’ve been holding yourself together for too long. This return is not about introspection or analysis. It is about presence — the simple act of meeting yourself where you are. The dignity of your inner world When you sit with yourself gently, without judgment, something subtle begins to unfold. Your inner world — often rushed, silenced, or dismissed — starts to reveal its textures. A tightness in the chest. A flicker of longing. A quiet sadness. A small, unexpected joy. A memory rising like a soft tide. These are not problems to solve. They are signals of aliveness. Being with yourself means offering these inner movements the dignity they deserve. It means saying, without words: I see you. You matter. You can stay. The art of listening inward There is a listening that goes beyond hearing. A listening that happens with the whole body. It is the way you notice the breath shifting when something feels true. The way your shoulders soften when you stop pretending. The way your stomach tightens when a boundary is crossed. The way your heart warms when you speak honestly. This listening is not dramatic. It is subtle, steady, and deeply wise. When you practice being with yourself, you begin to trust these signals. You begin to trust yourself. The companionship you’ve always needed We often seek from others what we have not yet learned to offer ourselves: comfort, patience, understanding, presence. But the most transformative companionship begins within. Being with yourself does not mean isolation. It means you no longer abandon yourself in the presence of others. It means you carry a quiet anchor — a sense of inner home — wherever you go. This companionship is not self‑centered. It is self‑rooted. And from that rootedness, connection with others becomes deeper, clearer, more honest. A practice, not a destination The art of being with yourself is not mastered. It is practiced — gently, imperfectly, again and again. Some days it feels natural. Some days it feels impossible. Both are part of the path. What matters is the willingness to return. To pause. To breathe. To meet yourself with the same tenderness you offer to those you love. Because in the end, being with yourself is not a task. It is a relationship — one that can become the quiet foundation of your life. Sitting Beside Yourself Find a position that feels natural — not arranged, not corrected. Let your body settle into its own shape. Step 1 — Imagine yourself sitting beside… yourself Not as two separate beings, but as two versions of the same presence. One who has lived the day. One who is here to meet them. Let them sit together, side by side, without expectation. Step 2 — Offer a breath to the part of you that is tired Inhale gently. Exhale slowly toward the place that feels most weary — the chest, the jaw, the belly, the heart. Let the breath be a gesture of companionship. Step 3 — Place a hand where your body calls for it Maybe the sternum. Maybe the stomach. Maybe the side of your ribs. Wherever your hand lands is the right place. Stay there for a moment, simply present. Step 4 — Whisper inward: “I’m here with you.” Say it softly, inside yourself. Not as a mantra, but as a truth. Let the words settle into your body like warm water. Step 5 — Notice what shifts A softening. A warmth. A small ache. A quiet relief. Whatever appears is welcome. You are not trying to change it — only to witness it. Step 6 — Close with a gesture of kindness A slow exhale. A gentle nod. A hand resting on your heart. A small smile that no one else needs to see. Let this gesture seal the moment. When you’re ready, lift your gaze or open your eyes. Carry this companionship with you — a quiet reminder that you never walk alone.
