It’s no great exaggeration to say that the past few months have taken a heavy toll on our lives and also our mental health. Most of us have had to face enormous changes to our regular daily existence and have had to adapt to new working environments. Many have been stuck in confined spaces without the ability to see familiar faces and lots of us have faced worrying thoughts about health risks for ourselves and for our loved ones, too.
While I cannot claim to fix any of the above, I can use this edition to offer positive thoughts about wellbeing. This issue we’re taking a look at how to be happy. We’re very lucky to have art as an outlet and also as a tool to express our pain and worry. From page 22, we spoke to a few incredible artists on what makes them happy about their art and how they harness this in both their work and personal lives. I hope you enjoy this story and are able to take something from it. Let me know how you’re feeling and tell me about the creative steps you’re taking to stay positive. I’d love to hear from you.
