How do we conquer Covid-19 fears now we can go out again?

Pay attention to your thoughts and apply logic. We're often caught up in draining and irrational patterns of thinking

When was the last time you were really scared? You might think, that time I lost my child in a shopping centre, or the moment the doctor told me it was serious, or the night I was followed home from the bus stop, or as I was walking up to the stage to give my big speech.

All of those moments can prompt good old-fashioned fear, but what you probably won't instantly recall is all the other times when fear has been present inside you: the many moments when fear has been controlling you, without you knowing it. It's there when you feel unfulfilled, as if there's something missing; when no amount of success is quite enough. And it's also there when you feel jealous, judge people, are overcome by perfectionism, or feel the need to crush a colleague.
