Is there such a thing as Lock Down Lethargy?

I’ve been feeling lethargic.

It’s an usual feeling as I’m usually so highly driven.

I’m on a mission to help families raise happy, confident, resilient children and to help parents create happy childhoods for their children but I’ve been finding it harder to feel motivated.

So, I thought I’d look at why and if I was alone so I googled.

‘Is there such a thing as Lock Down Lethargy?’
