Watch as Beck Institute clinician Dr. Robert Hindman describes a short mindfulness exercise for worry and anxiety associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
The practice starts at 3:06 This comment is a future reference for those who wants to find and repeat the practice again. Thank you so much for sharing this practice with us 🙏
Thank you, I am a therapist providing services in NYC. I was recently exposed to the virus by a client. I forgot everything I know, thank you for resenting me.
This made me tear up. Such a fantastic explanation and something I really need to start practicing. This year has really affected mental health in ways that I feel are only just now manifesting.
Thank you so much for this. I am new to mindfulness exercising and I struggle with severe anxiety and depression. I have been focusing on mindfulness centered around controlling my breathing. This exercise was different and I definitely will be doing it more and more.
Great video! Thanks for the insight. Im sure alot of people are needing to see this video and start practicing that mindfulness of our thoughts and not react to them.
This was very helpful! A lot of times I anticipate the worst possible outcome, that it drives me to anxiety. Thinking can fuel anxiety. I liked your take on shifting focus. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much you don't know how much positive change u did to my life with this method . May god bless u with health wealth and eternal happinness doc !
I found it hard to force myself to get worried. I get stressed at work from time to time, but I couldn't trick my hrain/body into experiencing that. I'll keep the exercise in mind, though, for when the anxiety and worry hit in real life situations. Thanks for the upload.
Thank you very much I did not listen everything because my mind wanders a lot and I got a little bit bored of doing the exercise looking at my laptop screen and practiced it looking around me, in my apartment and had a lot of constructive though with your mellow voice in the background (very soothing) telling me things. I got a understanding about a phenomenon I experience a lot about stalling "stuck up" on things (OCD does not help ;_;) Yeah... I see something clearer about how powerful I am to help myself and actually put on my actions to almost chose how healthy I can be. I just need to let go what is draining and learn to focus on what is feeding! :D
Hi, Thank you for this video and information on mindfulness. Very useful in terms of the current world climate and covid pandemic. Mindfulness practices can be so effective in creating a sense of grounding presence. Thankyou
This is probably the best logical explanation of what's been going on in my head my entire life. Thank you for posting this and thank God I finally found it. I've literally been worrying myself sick for years about redundant stuff and it's lead to other health issues. My therapy sessions have been put on hold due to my therapist being absent and my life's been spiraling out of control. Thank you again.
So the main point outlined in this video is to SHIFT your focus on what's other things going on in your life RIGHT AT THIS MOMENT. Instead of keep thinking and focusing about nagative which makes you anxious
really mentally not well, i keep overthinking and having anxiety but like very bad imma try this out and see wether i could archive mindfulness bc i feel relieved
With this exercise I had to think about the character "Zander" from "drawn together", every time he experienced sth unsettling he used to focus on his palm in front of his face and say "be strong zender"
Hello 👋 Could you please tell me the exact difference between Mindfulness-based interventions and Mindfulness interventions? I'd appreciate your input as I'm a PhD Student studying mindfulness and mind wandering.
The mindfulness book "30 Days to Reduce Anxiety" by Harper Daniels is good. It has 30 exercises for meditation and mindfulness that are helpful and practical.
My main focus is on how utterly boring his office is. Put something interesting to look at not just me, me, me. A hardly visible photo of what I presume is your child, it might have been nice if I could properly see it but I can appreciate your privacy. Your books, there's a little colour in the spines, I can't see what any of them are, nothing to see though. Then not one, not two, but three awards you have received, well done you. All so boring though and it's a bit much to be told to focus on these items. Put up a cat ornament! Or if it HAS TO be about you put a little more personality into it. I'm sorry for the rant but your video just annoyed me. Look at the colours? What colours? Your office is very drab and anally rentative.
I m a post Covid patient , I m under huge stress , I get up at night n my face Arms and legs a sleep .. I get Up b then again try to sleep , I feel my mind does not sleep n keep thinking about side wegevfs on my body or something else
Exceptional content! If you're engrossed, I'd guide you to a book with similar themes. "A Life Unplugged: Reclaiming Reality in a Digital Age" by Theodore Blaze
Well, this was useless. "deal with visual" I had my first panic attack yesterday when the doctor was using a laser to repair a retinal tear. It HURT! I was afraid I would move my eye at the worst moment and would end up totally blind in that eye. And I believe I DID move my eye because he didn't take an after picture and show me when he was done. I also smelled burning flesh. Took me hours to remove that *&^% corset and even longer to release the knot in my chest. Next doctor visit is in 6 weeks.
This exercise is not applied properly. Why would you have people focus on objects in your office? It should be in their current environment. It's not as effective as they can apply to their life.
This was good but tbh had the most annoying intro.. most mindfulness excercises start off relaxing however this was like listening to part of a lecture at first, not everyone’s most stress free activity..
Thank you so much for this. I am new to mindfulness exercising and I struggle with severe anxiety and depression. I have been focusing on mindfulness centered around controlling my breathing. This exercise was different and I definitely will be doing it more and more.
