3 Mindful Practices for Uncertain Times
1: Manage Information Intake
Notice what happens inside of you as you take in and share information; ask yourself the questions below.
- Is this bringing my anxiety up?
- Or calming me down?
- Do I already know everything you need to know at this moment?
- Do I need a break?
2: Keep Perspective
Use perspective and try to hold multiple truths – “both/and.”
3: Don’t Forget Kindness
Be kind to yourself and others.
-
We don’t have to beat ourselves up for how we feel.
-
We are having biologically appropriate reactions to an unusual situation.
-
We know that this will not last forever, so while this is here, can we offer ourselves some kindness and tenderness as we would offer a child who is frightened?
