Like a lot of people, I’ve been worried about the coronavirus. And I’ve been thinking about what to do, both out in the world and inside my own mind.

The brain has evolved to react quickly to threats, and it’s easy for there to be a sense of helplessness associated with problems that appear far beyond our control. That’s why it’s so important to look for ways to be effective and express our agency, even if it’s only through how we choose to think about things.

In this short video I give a few suggestions for how to do just that. I hope you find it helpful during this challenging time.
