Self-help methods
In the first quarter of last year, when people were told to stay home to prevent the spread of COVID-19, they were also encouraged to exercise to enhance physical fitness and relieve pressure resulting from quarantine.
However, Yu said that for such methods to be effective, we need to change the way we see the world and anything that makes us feel sad . In psychology, this approach is widely known as cognitive behavioral therapy.
With the Year of the Ox arriving next month, Qi Yao cannot wait to celebrate Spring Festival.
We had our annual meeting recently, and business for the past year has basically come to an end. I ve bought a rail ticket back home to Fuxin, Liaoning province, said Qi, who is the operations director for Yunhsi Travel in Beijing, which will switch to a holiday working schedule next week.
It has been a tough year for Qi and tourism, one of the industries most affected by the pandemic.
This was mainly due to my work, as the overall environment had fundamentally changed. Business at the company almost stagnated in the first half of the year, the work rhythm was completely disrupted and my income was significantly affected, Qi said.
