Malta
A statement by the Malta Chamber of Psychologists on the current situation in Malta. December, 2019
The Malta Chamber of Psychologists urges the authorities, public officials and politicians to put the nation’s mental, emotional and psychological wellbeing at the forefront of any decision they make.
The recent political climate has created a strong sense of unrest, uncertainty, instability, anger, loss and fear in our country. This pathological and unhealthy social current breeds a sense of betrayal and helplessness and may cause stress-induced psychological repercussions, especially on those prone to anxiety and depression. It risks having a long-term impact on our nation’s wellbeing and can no longer go on.

(Piece of an article originally published on the British Psychological Society’s Research Digest blog)
The excesses of Christmas have been and gone, and we’ve been met once again by January’s familiar call for resolution and goal-setting.
For most of us, New Year’s resolutions are a mixed bag: whether we’re looking to get fit, become more environmentally-friendly, or just keep up a new hobby, there sometimes seems to be no rhyme or reason as to why some habits stick and others fall by the wayside almost immediately.
But there are a few things you can do to make your new routines work, based on research into motivation, temptation and achievement.
Here’s our digest of the ten findings that could help make that New Year’s resolution stay around until next December.
