Even if COVID-19 hasn’t impacted you directly, the extreme uncertainty of it all is almost certainly affecting you and perhaps stressing you out more than you realize. Personally, I am addicted to the news and I go off on tangents studying the Spanish Flu and other historical events that seem like they might help me understand the situation. I don’t think it’s good for me.

So I have taken up meditation. Again. Yes yes, we all know about it and I have tried to get into a habit of it many times without any luck. But the best results I have had, I have had with this piece of audio:

Try listening to it with headphones and your eyes closed. It’s 15 minutes long. No speak or anything. It will put you into a trance. At least, it does so for me consistently and several people have reported the same to me. Think of it as de-fragmenting your brain. Doing it regularly helps, I am convinced it does.
