Websites

This is Dr. Kristin Neff's (the self compassion guru) website. It's a wealth of resources, including written exercises and guided meditations that will guide you through the basics of fostering greater self-compassion. I personally really enjoy her Loving-Kindness meditations, but all of them are helpful.

If you or someone that you're close to suffers from anxiety, this website offers an abundance of information on the subject. Dr. Dave Carbonell outlines numerous anxiety disorders and common phobias, as well as presents different strategies for how to combat these feelings when they arise. This is not meant to be a substitute for professional counseling. However, if you're interested in doing some research ahead of a meeting with a licensed mental health professional, or if you're just looking for some tips to help manage your anxiety, this is a great place to start.

This Coronavirus Sanity Guide was put together by Dan Harris and his team, who also produce the Ten Percent Happier podcast and have developed the Ten Percent Happier app, which offers hundreds of guided meditations to subscribers. All of the resources in this guide, which include talks, podcast episodes, meditations, and blog posts, are completely free and available to all.
