Many, including key workers and those who’ve been home-schooling, may be glad of the rest if they get one, especially if it’s half term week where you are. Pre-COVID19, a Bank Holiday week/end might be when we bring out the barbecue, go out with friends, or …
How kind have you been to yourself lately? If you’ve been throwing rocks at yourself (metaphorically speaking), you’re not alone. According to this article, the pandemic has unleashed the “inner critic” in many of us.
