Key Takeaways
- While meditation may not be easy to practice for all, a good starting point would be to read some books or download some apps which could help. For e.g the book, “The Headspace guide to Meditation & Mindfulness” by Andy Puddicombe or downloading the app “Headspace” could be a great first step for beginners.
- Good physical health is achieved and sustained by good mental health. Check your triggers of stress and be self-aware. Maintain a journal for yourself to help realise those triggers.
- One size does not fit all. Similarly, all practices/ coping techniques must be tailored to suit an individual’s anxiety levels or what calms their own triggers.
- Focus on things that ground you, have a daily routine / structure. Take time outs as well, have one free day in the week.
- Be mindful when doing any activity and be in touch with yourself. Remind ourselves that we are not alone in this situation.
- Business leaders/ entrepreneurs should be part of communities/ networks like Campden, where they can reach out to each other and not feel that they are in this all by themselves.
- Provide emotional support to elderly relatives to help them cope better.
- Create a more conducive atmosphere for kids to openly talk about this situation.
