That led us to start working on the new and revolutionary mental wellness path that focused on preventing mental health issues. The need for such an approach was and still is huge, as for multiple decades mental health approach main...

Often our problems consume our time and (mental) health. By the definition of Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary problem is a "thing that is difficult to deal with or to understand."

We all love to be smart because it enables us to get things done efficiently. When we use our inner mental functions purposefully, we can get impeccable work results.

Instead, our approach to mental health in workplaces and society is domi...

Living with technology at our desks and in our pockets has caused us to think that we are capable of running multiple ‘apps’ in the background as our computers do. Sadly, this isn't the case with the human mind. Therefore, multitasking has had an adverse effect on all working environments. Working from our homes and remotely has proved that multitasking effectively is a mis...

The old concept of work-life balance is now totally outdated. Working from home, remotely, or as a contract worker is now the new norm. The technology that we carry with us almost 24/7 means there is no longer a clear distinction between work and life. What was left of it became history with the global lockdown. So, how do we adapt? How do we find efficient ways for our work-life integratio...
