Dealing with post lockdown anxiety

Now that many of us are emerging from the lockdowns in our countries, there are different ways of looking at the experience. Some are able to reflect relatively positively on the enforced period of time spent working from home. They have found themselves able to get more done remotely, without all the usual workplace distractions, and to just stay focused on the job at hand. For others, the experience has been a worrying and distressing one, not able to keep the business going because of severe restrictions, and dealing with cashflow and employee care challenges, to name but a few. What is common for everyone is a feeling of post-lockdown anxiety creeping in - no-one really knows what is going to happen next. There is just so much uncertainty about trying to return to normal life when you know the world and the business environment is anything but normal right now. Anxiety experts suggest that the way to deal with this situation is to focus on the things you can control, instead of the things you can’t, and try not to think too far ahead, That way, life won’t feel quite so overwhelming.
