Energy management - mind & body

In this episode of Psychological Fitness: What it Takes we explore energy management with Dr Grace Lordan, Associate Professor in Behavioural Science & Director of The Inclusion Initiative, London School of Economics. There is a connection between mind & body, and mental & physical health. Looking after our physical health improves mental health and vice versa. The mantra for being busy as a badge of honour, hectic weekends packed full of activities, being bored as a negative, particularly amongst young people.
