It can feel easy to get negative thoughts stuck in your head which stop you from connecting with other people, like “It’s just all too stressful” or “I’ve messed it up too many times before.”

We can blame ourselves, leading to a self-fulfilling prophecy where we have further unsatisfying relationships, leading to more negative self-talk and social isolation. But how can you identify and move past these thoughts? To read this article, check out the loneliness issue of Richmond Borough Mind’s Mindful Memo at bit.ly/2GWLPeI .

For many of us, switching from the office to working from home has been a pretty big change and can easily lead to lots of extra stress. However, there are lots of different ways you can try and make the situation as stress free as possible, from using treats, celebrating a freedom from office politics or finding something calming to look at, when you reply to yet another email.
