Watch.
One area of wellbeing that is often overlooked, but is most definitely a part of every single person’s life is money.
Your finances can have a huge negative impact on your life, with 71% of people in the UK currently reporting they are stressed about money.
“The impact money can have on your self-worth and self-belief can create so many other negative thoughts and feelings that play out into your confidence and self-esteem and the way you feel about yourself and your capabilities. This impacts what you go after and how you enjoy your life which can lead to a lot of challenges with mental health.”
— Nicola Mercer
“A recent study said that in the UK 71% of people are most stressed about money. Everyone has access to money, so if that’s causing stress it will impact all areas of your life, and this is at all levels of wealth.”
