Another Friday already!
Â
And what at week it's been here in the UK
Â
As we write this we're being battered by the strongest winds since 1987 when the BIG Storm (a hurricane) hit us
Â
That's 34 years ago!
Â
The power has gone out a couple of times but we're fortunate it wasn't for long :-)
Â
In this week's email we want to talk about what our Google searches tell us about 2021
Â
It won't come as any big surprise to know that Mental health was a key topic of discussion in 2021
Â
That 2021’s most-searched included themes of reflection, healing and pulling together
- Global searches for mental health reached the highest level ever
- How to cure burnout was a breakout US search, meaning it increased at least 5,000% compared with the prior time period
- Several mental health-related queries reached record levels
Even so, the world remains optimistic with notable searches including:
Â
“how to heal”, “how to stay strong”, “how to make a comeback”, “how to be resilient” and “how to be hopeful”
Â
There's always good comes out of adversity
Â
And those who are resilient will always survive
Â
We've certainly had to be resilient
Â
Â
And one thing we've always been aware of is opportunity in a growth area
Â
Crypto is not for us in terms of opportunity although very popular from a make money online perspective
Â
Personally it's not for us but we do see it has a place from an investment point of view
Â
But just looking at the searches for 2021 it's clear that mental health and wellness is looking to be a hot topic as we continue into 2022 and beyond
