Chances are, you're probably worried about something right now, and who can blame you? Turns out, we humans are hard-wired to worry. But worrying doesn’t actually prevent things from happening, it just means you suffer twice if they do. So how do we combat this? Is mindfulness the key? If you need emotional support, you can call Befrienders at 603-79568145 or email sam@befrienders.org.my.
