What has been dubbed the “Apple” technique is being recommended by AnxietyUK as an antidote to coronavirus worries.
Each of the five A.P.P.L.E. letters stands for a way of dealing with uncertainty.
The first is to “Acknowledge” a worry “as it comes to mind.”
Such an “A” could also denote “Awareness.” Next,
put it on
“Pause,” just long enough to breathe a bit. Then “Pull
back,”
while telling yourself that this feeling is not necessarily factual.
“Let” this feeling float on by, as clouds do within a peaceful sky. Then “Explore” the immediate moment, which is brimming with lively sensations.
Allow yourself to experience what is, without recoiling in fear and judgment.
