If there's one thing we're acutely aware of at this time of season, it's stress and anxiety.

It's obviously a pretty strong feeling, but at the end of the day, we know deep down that

it's only sport, but it can undoubtedly affect your mood and impact day-to-day life, particularly

if there are real-world things on your

mind, because we're in a culture now that promotes grinding all the time and working harder,

you know, with your sleep and your health and well-being often relegated to a distant second

place. So here's a reminder to take care of yourself, perhaps do a little less and maybe try some

therapy. I spoke to a therapist for exactly those reasons.

There was a time when I was working seven days a week because of money worries and I ended up

burned out with my stress and anxiety levels through the roof. Therapy was a huge help for me.

It enabled me to understand the root of the anxiety and it gave me the tools to spot it coming

in future and proactively manage my mind going

forward. Definitely one of the best things I've done in life. As the largest online therapy
