LinkedIn has announced an additional six free courses on LinkedIn Learning to help you manage your stress and build mindfulness while in lockdown due to COVID-19.

It’s a stressful time for everyone at the moment. Billions of people across the globe are stuck at home, while a viral pandemic continues to spread and cause suffering to hundreds of thousands. It’s no surprise, therefore, that over the last month, more people than ever have watched mindfulness and stress management courses on LinkedIn Learning.

LinkedIn explains that “people are looking for ways to navigate this new normal” as “boundaries between work and personal are more blurred than ever” and full families are at home all the time. Friends, coworkers, and other family members are only seen at a distance – mostly over countless video calls. It’s a challenging time, indeed.

Last month, LinkedIn launched 16 free LinkedIn Learning courses to help people stay productive, build relationships when you’re not face-to-face, use virtual meeting tools, and find a healthy work-life balance while working from home.

Now, the company is sharing six more free courses on mindfulness and stress management to help people “build up their self-care toolbox.” The courses feature experts who will help you learn how to:

Cultivate mindfulness practices to increase focus, remain grounded in change and ambiguity, and manage emotional triggers
Understand the impact of a mindful physical workspace and how to create one
Manage stress and get ‘unstuck’ when you’re overwhelmed
Build up your energy reserves so you can show up the way you want to with colleagues and loved ones
