What's the difference between leadership and management? The answer to that depends on whom you ask. For many people, these two concepts overlap so much that it can be difficult for them to tell where one ends and the other begins.

However, as with most things, there is a consensus that can be drawn from those who study this field. Generally speaking, those in management positions tend to focus on organization and planning, while those in leadership positions tend to focus on inspiration.

Although both are necessary for a company to function, it is often in their best interest that they are separated into different positions. Too much management can stifle creativity and reduce productivity, while too little can leave employees confused about their tasks and responsibilities.

When looking at this difference between leadership vs management further, it becomes apparent that there are two very different mindsets at work.

Those infected with COVID-19 often report a loss of taste and smell as a primary symptom. Although those vaccinated are less likely to be infected by COVID-19, immunity is not available to everyone. With over 300 million cases worldwide, you probably already know someone who is or was infected- including yourself.

Hospitalization due to COVID-19 is both emotionally and physically stressful. It is also expensive. Aside from the medical bills, the cost of food, lodging, and medicine can all add up to a lofty some but it should not be a matter of concern for the infected individual. They ought to focus on recovery and find distractions that can improve their mental health, which might have a positive effect on their physical health.

Food intake tends to vary greatly from the first notice of losing your appetite to recovery. The virus might not let you consume any food, making it difficult to eat anything no matter how hard you try. But, as you recover, your appetite will improve. Here is some advice to help you overcome the changes to your food intake as you recover:

You look at the mirror, and you don't like what you're seeing. You feel heavier than usual. You feel like you're moving slower than you used to. You're not used to this, and you're starting to feel bad about yourself.

It's been over a year, and you realize you gained weight during the pandemic. And you're starting to hate yourself for it.

Don't. You're not the only person in the world who gained weight during the pandemic. According to a study published in the journal The Obesity Society, 27% of people around the world believed they gained weight following the lockdown. This includes obese people, with 33% of them saying they gained even more weight.

According to the study, this could be due to people's unhealthy behavior in response to the pandemic. Stress and anxiety levels shoot up due to the pandemic, which caused people to eat unhealthily. And, because of stress, people felt a lot better by giving into their sweet cravings. It also causes people insomnia and interrupted sleep.

Because of the stay-at-home orders, people also tend to move less. Because of the remote work setup, there is limited time to go outdoors for physical activity. There is also less time in the daily commute. Because of this, people tend to be stuck in front of their desks and work eight hours a day with limited breaks. The usual hustle and bustle pre-pandemic routine has now turned into a sedentary lifestyle.

This response to a difficult situation like the pandemic is normal. But, experts can't help but worry about the kind of lifestyle people are in these days. It could be high time we all look into our weight before it takes its toll on our mental health.
