As we move through these uncertain times together, I want to do everything I can to help you build and maintain the psychological strength you\u2019ll need to thrive through this adversity.\xa0\xa0

We founded Peak Mind to help you navigate times\xa0exactly like this.\xa0\xa0

Life is not always perfect.\xa0Sometimes gratitude is more difficult to find.\xa0Sometimes, the best thing we can do is do our best to remain calm and keep a balanced mindset.\xa0

Psychological strength can help you do just that.\xa0

This episode is the first of a series of episodes that I plan to do to help you navigate the complex thoughts and feelings that might be coming up as we face the coming weeks and months.\xa0

In today\u2019s episode, I discuss a few things:\xa0

• First, we discuss the\xa0brain science behind why we all feel so anxious\xa0as our day-to-day lives are so different from the way they once were. You are not alone in your feelings. They are very normal and quite natural and adaptive.\xa0
• I talk about how\xa0our natural response to uncertainty is to try to control\xa0our circumstances. This helps explain why we as a group have responded in some of the ways that we have (hello,\xa0toilet paper).\xa0
• Finally, I end with a\xa0hands-on exercise\xa0that you can do\xa0to help find a more grounded, centered,\xa0balanced\xa0mindset\xa0during times that you might feel anxious or worried.\xa0

The fact of the matter is, there is a threat out there. The corona virus is real. However, I hope that the information and exercise in this episode\xa0helps you\xa0remain calm and centered, even as you move through a period of great uncertainty and change.\xa0
