How to Keep Calm and Carry On
Do you feel like you’re under more pressure than usual? There has been a 25%
increase in the prevalence of anxiety and depression worldwide since 2000,
according to the World Health Organization.
They describe the main factors as loneliness, concerns about infection, grief, and
financial worries. The impact has been especially severe for health care workers, as
well as youth and women.
World events are often beyond your control, but you can decide how to react to
them.
You can let them overwhelm you, or you can make yourself more resilient.
With a positive attitude and coping skills, you’ll be prepared to thrive during
difficult times. Use these suggestions for staying calm and carrying on.
