During 2020 and the global pandemic, our lives changed dramatically as Covid-19 spread and restrictions were put in place across the world. We weren't able to socialize with friends, go on holiday, shop for clothes, or go to the gym, restaurants, bars or the cinema. The situation was clearly not ideal. But rather than dwelling on the downside, what if we were to tap into the potential benefits? "One of the positive aspects of the situation is that it's given many people the space to slow down and simplify their lives," says occupational psychologist Kate Keenan.
