How can anybody overcome languishing?
The corona period has turned the mental conditions of people around the world. Some have lost their concentration and some are feeling euphoric and aimless. Many people find life meaningless and feel powerless despite being healthy. People lost their jobs after March 2020. Also, many lost their loved ones. Some days, some months passed in trouble. Slowly things started getting back to normal. Got jobs again. Life went on in its own way. Now after a year, the same situation is there again. People are imprisoned in homes. Every day, every hour the news of someone leaving the world is creating a sense of negativity in the mind. There is an unknown fear. The mind trembles even after stepping outside the house. This fear is slowly taking us towards languishing.

On the other hand, languishing is a state between depression and well-being. In this state you are not motivated, concentration is disturbed and the risk of diseases increases.
