How to set goals during a pandemic

In this episode, I’m going to talk about how to set and achieve goals during a pandemic and uncertain times.

This potential second wave of the pandemic is putting us all in a spin.

There is so much out of our control. News-breaking uncertainty triggered by the pandemic, the upcoming election in the US or Brexit for the UK and the job market’s shaky footing are just some examples that have led to astonishing levels of anxiety, which has tripled, and depression, which has increased by 2 ½ times since the COVID-19 outbreak.

I’d like to ask you this, if the Wellness industry is worth $4.2trillion dollars, then why are we still struggling to manage stress? Because let’s be honest here – and the science backs this all up – stress is the precursor to the majority of mental health illnesses including anxiety and depression. 

There are a multitude of resources available to us – quite literally at the click of a button as more therapists in varying fields take their businesses online – yet, we are still unable to manage our stress.

So in this show, I’m not going to talk explicitly about how you can manage stress, instead I’m going to take the focus away from fear which induces stress and help you to make goals and achieve them during this uncertainty that we are currently living in.

This one is not for the faint-hearted. There are some fierce truths in here that are only suitable for those who are willing to take control of their own lives.
