These times are uncertain and show how things can change quickly. It can be normal to feel anxious or to feel as if your mind is racing. You may even feel a little lost during this time. Sometimes, having a way to affect how we are thinking, or even just having a way to notice how we are thinking, can help things feel a little more manageable.
Psychologist Dr. Richard Davidson has been studying ways to strengthen your mind through neuroscience for years. We can work on our mind like any other muscle, adding strength in the areas of awareness, connection, insight, and purpose. In these uncertain times, it can be vital to increase our connection to ourselves and others, and to tune in to our sense of purpose.
Dr. Davidson’s App is currently free to download and has a number of daily tasks that are mindfulness-based and teach you more skills than meditation alone. Dr. Davidson has added some resources specifically for coping with COVID-19-related stress as well.
