Thank you. Agreed. Referring to Covid-19, I know that if better decisions we're being made, we would deal with less stress around the virus.
As you say it is particularly important in these times to think about our mental health. By making time for ourselves, we will feel happier and feeling happier means we will want to help others feel happier too.
