Reduces worry.

When you zoom in on, what is it that I can do? What is it that is within my control, right? So that's important because it has been shown in some of my studies at GIBS.

We do an, an annual study, Bra Obs, called the GIBS October Health, um, Workplace Wellbeing Report that speaks to what you're talking about, that a sense of control is really associated with better mental health.

In other words, less worry, less anxiety, less stress.

Because it's almost like, let me focus on, on what I can control, even if it's little.

What do you do that protects your mental health?

And while climate change skepticism remains present among Jamaicans, we are seeing that extreme weather becomes more immediate, or as it becomes more immediate, Jamaica's powerful and trusted churches are increasingly treating climate change not simply as an environmental issue, but as a matter of faith, responsibility, and social action.

Pleasure as always, Professor Lyle White, faculty member at the Gordon Institute of Business Science.

He talks to us again in two weeks' time, and then you'll actually be, will be in Latin America, won't you, Lyle?
