PROBLEM: Unfortunately during the pandemic, I developed and sort of serious problem in the lower back due to the bad position I took when sitting at my desk, which caused a constant pain.

SOLUTION: Considering the workshops and training given in terms of posture and flexibility, I managed to improve and overcome this pain and avoid pills.

PROBLEM: Constant negative thoughts, serious anxiety, feelings of deep loneliness and abrupt crying due to the lock-down from 2020 to 2022.

SOLUTION: Having therapy sessions, exercising at the gym, plus a balanced diet and face-to-face lessons have prevented me from having dramatic crisis or serious episodes.

PROBLEM: Feeling of existence with no real purpose due to monotony.

SOLUTION: Meditation and the practice of "being grateful" through a list keeps giving me enough fuel to continue working and finding happiness in this path called life.

PROBLEM: I realised that I was spending lots of my spare time at home watching tik tok videos or reels on facebook, which kept me apart from real human interaction.

SOLUTION: I put the phone aside and started having dinner more frequently with my dad and brother so I could socialize in a healthy and real way.

PROBLEM: I noticed that I had many games in my phone, which numbed my intelligence, affected my thinking and made it "slower".

SOLUTION: I started using apps like "The Free Dictionary" which has several simple but engaging games like hangman, spelling bee and matching exercises in order to have a good time but, at the same time, learn and keep my mind exercising intellectually.
