How We Cope with Hope
\n<\/strong>“Healthy Brain, Healthy Mind” Series<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n

Chapman University\u2019s Director of Contemplative Practices and Well-being
\nAdvances Strategies for Coping\u00a0During Crisis and Uncertainty.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cCrisis-Coping\u201d Fatigue<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Learning to cope in the midst of crisis and uncertainty can understandably take its toll on your brain, body, and being. These feelings can become all the more heightened in a situation like the COVID-19 crisis when trying to manage your stress and anxiety.<\/p>\n

As I highlight in my first piece Be Adaptive, Not Reactive to Change<\/a>, we\u2019re actually dealing with two simultaneous contagions\u2014the threat from the actual virus and the spreading psychological trauma it generates. I\u2019m finding that our Chapman students and those in my personal life are experiencing what I call \u201ccrisis-coping\u201d fatigue\u2014we\u2019re simply overwhelmed trying to cope with feelings of fear, grief, and hopelessness. It\u2019s exactly what many of you also voiced in this week\u2019s \u201cHealthy Brain, Healthy Mind\u201d podcast.<\/p>\n

I find the following phrases are becoming all too common:
\n\u201cI wake up in the middle of the night with my thoughts racing.\u201d
\n\u201cIt\u2019s hard not to feel hopeless and scared for myself and my family.\u201d
\n\u201cHow can I manage my exhaustion and overwhelm?\u201d<\/p>\n

Most of you know that stress does more than just create anxiety and worry. Left unchecked, chronic stress undermines your ability to focus, sleep, work, and persist. \u201cCoping fatigue\u201d can occur when the demand on your cognitive capacity surpasses what you\u2019re normally able to manage and regulate. When this cognitive overload becomes unrelenting and feels out of your control, is it any wonder we\u2019re dealing with \u201ccoping fatigue\u201d at the moment? What can you do? As my students in Chapman\u2019s \u201cHappiness\u201d course discover, both brain science and timeless spiritual wisdom provide strategies for us to cope and not to lose hope.<\/p>\n

Brain Science and Buddhist Psychology<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n

From the perspective of brain science, we humans can only retain a finite amount of cognitive information in any given moment. As a strategy for survival, the human brain evolved primarily to \u201cfocus on the bad, forget the good\u201d in moments of crisis or trauma. It\u2019s a concept sometimes referred to as your brain\u2019s negativity bias. <\/em>Your \u201cSurvival Brain\u201d evolved to focus on negative experiences and register stressful situations more strongly than remembering positive ones.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how you can understand it. I\u2019ve often heard your brain\u2019s negativity bias<\/em> as best explained by the following phrase: \u201cYour brain is like Velcro for negative experiences and like Teflon for positive ones.\u201d What that means is your brain excels at making the bad experiences stick, while making the good ones slip away. This concept is the essence behind your brain\u2019s negativity bias\u2014your brain is biased to remember more effectively the stressful and negative experiences than the joyful, happy ones. Your brain\u2019s built-in negativity bias can be one reason behind \u201ccoping fatigue\u201d that can lead us to lose hope and drop into despair.<\/p>\n

Borrowing wisdom from Buddhist psychology, it reveals that one primary source of suffering originates in the failure to accept the nature of change. Putting this idea into the context of the current crisis, here\u2019s a Buddhist riddle: How do you make a happy person become sad, and a sad person become happy? Just say, \u201cWhat you\u2019re feeling will soon pass.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

What this punch line implies is how the Buddha realized nothing lasts forever\u2014both good times and bad times are temporary experiences. Both pain and pleasure are fleeting sensations in your fluctuating mind, but in the moment your mind deceives you into thinking these states are permanent. In the case of pain, you suffer when you forget painful experiences are only temporary. We suffer when we forget that everything in life is never permanent. The Buddhist notion of impermanence is not unique, as it is equally reflected among the world\u2019s spiritual traditions by the common phrase: This, too, shall pass. It is exactly this universal concept of embracing the temporary nature of suffering is what we first need to remember as a strategy to combat \u201ccoping fatigue\u201d.<\/p>\n

Although you may find it even more challenging right now to stay calm and centered, please don\u2019t lose hope.<\/p>\n
