In this episode, we are talking about worry, and let's face it, with the Coronavirus pandemic, there is a lot of uncertainty and worry at the moment from both a health perspective and an economic perspective as we see nations going into lockdown. The word “worry” comes from a Greek word which can be translated as “divided mind” This is quite apt as worry can often feel like your thoughts are pulling in different directions. The mind starts thinking about future possibilities and naturally, starts jumping to conclusions and these may not be based on fact, but on imagined events. Quite often this can be the worst-case scenario. In this episode, we take a closer look at worry, it's evolutionary roots and a few simple strategies for dealing with worry.
