To continue with my “Rise and Grow in Uncertain Times’ series of tips, I thought I would share with you the bridge analogy, which helps us understand better why we feel stressed and overwhelmed in particular right now.
Tip 3 - Avoid stress contagion.
With a global pandemic, racial injustice, political unrest and climate change concerns, we are surrounded by uncertainty and we don’t know what life will look like in 6 months or in a year or two.
