When all is said and done, mindfulness is really about wisdom, about discerning what is really, really, really, true from what is mere appearance, or what you’re attached to because you want it to be true.
—Jon Kabat-Zinn
Staying in touch with your emotions is a good way to deal with COVID-19 stress, research reveals.
It is natural to experience emotions like sadness, fear, loneliness and anxiety during the pandemic.
However, people who are psychologically flexible tend to do better.
Flexibility means acknowledging emotions, accepting them and taking whatever action is possible.
Continuing to do whatever is important to you — even if it is in modified form — is key to reducing stress.
For example, people in the study who called a family member or friend to talk it through experienced less stress than those who bottled it up and said nothing.
