It is not about controlling your thoughts but about preventing them from controlling you.
We know that the challenges we face in the modern world directly affect people's health. The accelerated pace of life, current challenges, work, personal problems, money worries can overwhelm us and make us feel paralyzed to act and therefore our body begins to manifest symptoms of stress that affect our health.
In this time of great challenges facing humanity, due to the coronavirus, isolation, worrying about our jobs, not being able to go outdoors, see our friends or go to the gym; our body can accumulate tension and trigger anxiety, insomnia, changes in eating habits and depression.
