The world is in a state of fear and uncertainty right now, and it’s stressful and overwhelming for most of us.
This kind of fear, stress, uncertain and overwhelm can have some really strong effects on our lives:
- Constant fear and stress can cause anxiety problems, worsen sleep and health, and lead to depression.
- In a place of fear, we can often make bad decisions.
- People can panic, overreact because of fear, and cause widespread confusion and disruptions.
- Our relationships can deteriorate when we’re operating from a place of fear.
- We become less productive, less focused, when we’re stressed.
- It has an obvious impact on our happiness.
