We all have at some point in our lives felt anxious, stressed and disheartened. These feelings are intrinsic of the human condition and can be the source of personal growth and great learning, provided we don’t linger on them and let negative-thinking patterns jeopardise our well-being.
Over the past year, due to the pandemic, “the rug has been pulled from under our feet” and we have been unable to do the things that help us overcome stress and anxiety and bring us joy: seeing family and friends, playing sports, travelling, being in contact with nature, attending live cultural performances and more. We have experienced loss, fear and sadness at an unprecedented scale.
