If you feel hopeless right now…

Know that there is hope, even when it might not feel like it. “ When you identify negative thoughts, try to neutralise and balance them,” says Dr Bajaj. “Stick to the facts (what do you know to be true?) and proactively try and look for the positive.”

“Ultimately, we cannot control what the nation’s politicians are doing. However, we have control over how we choose to respond,” stresses psychotherapist Dr Belynder Walia.

“The priority is taking care of your mental, emotional and physical well-being. To ensure you set healthy boundaries and to help you avoid the setbacks of the economy, be self-aware and secure within yourself. Limit your time on the news and devices and give yourself a chance to relax, allowing your nervous system to relax. Continue to set goals and reflect on what is working for you.

“Most of all, be grateful for friends, family, and the time you have to enjoy the moments where you feel free to make choices that are in your favour and you can control.”
