In the unavoidable quiet that lockdown has thrust upon many of us, you’d think we’d have all the time in the world to hunker down and concentrate.
But in a sea of silence, anxiety can counter that with it’s own deafening chatter.
This chorus of confidence crises can scramble your thoughts and make even the simplest household chores a battle to complete.
If you are new to this feeling, then don’t be alarmed. We are living in a pandemic and it is natural to feel this way. You are not alone.
But that doesn’t mean you have to suffer through it.
Join Headspace founder Andy Puddicombe for this week’s guided meditation which will provide you with the techniques to reduce your stress levels.
You can tune into this session today at 10am on Facebook, and catch up with any sessions you may have missed on Twitter, Instagram and YouTube!
And keep an eye out for future sessions, every Tuesday at the same time.
Together we will carve space out of our hectic weeks to have guided meditation sessions and learn how to use mindfulness in our day-to-day tasks.
What will we be covering?
- Managing stress and anxiety in lockdown
- How to take care of your mental health while self-isolating
- Top tips on meditation and mindfulness in every day tasks, such as washing your hands.
- Identifying and managing feelings of loneliness
- Connecting mind and body to keep mentally and physically active

On top of this, Headspace has also unlocked a free, specially-curated Weathering The Storm collection of meditation and mindfulness content in the Headspace app for people around the world during this time of crisis.
Together we hope we can offer you a small calming oasis, amid the tempest of the outside world.
