Abstract

Unforeseen life stressors can bring disillusionment as affected persons attempt to adapt to the unexpected and curtail associated negative emotions. Independent of formal diagnoses of anxiety and depression, anyone can be impacted by stressors in their personal and professional lives that affect mood, functionality, and cognitive functioning. Mindful living teaches one to address mental distress when unpredictable life events occur that are both unsettling and traumatic to the psyche. The coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) was an unforeseen event that has disrupted the normalcy of the lives of affected people worldwide. Trauma related to unforeseen events like COVID-19, can destabilize persons that already have histories of trauma and mental illness.
