Do you feel like you were less stressed a couple of years ago, after slowing down and having more ‘me time’ due to the pandemic?

Clinton is joined by Dr Marny Lishman, health & community psychologist, about a new study that has found that eastern Australian humpback whales were healthier and less stressed during the first year of Covid, when human activity on the ocean was limited, and many of us are resonating with this study.

Since getting back to ‘normal’ the world is ramping up again, and so are human interactions, which equate to more stress and more pressure.

More time engaging in hobbies? Spending more time with loved ones and less time sitting in traffic?

These reflections can help you slow down and in turn, reduce your stress levels.
