We are in a new context.

Our ability to adapt has never been more in demand. The context of confinement has profoundly changed our daily lives: our routines, our social interactions and even our working methods have changed. Our professional and personal lives are superimposed and sometimes intertwined. The feeling of no longer having control, of being powerless, shapes our daily lives. These changes are all factors that can destabilize our balance and strongly influence our sense of well-being.

Our cognitive skills are put to the test every day.

How do I manage my time? How do you deal with uncertainty? How do I manage my new ways of working? Or how do I keep my children busy or help them at school? All these are questions that have occupied our brains daily in recent weeks and that can overwhelm us at the end of our days. But how can we take care of our cognitive skills precisely? How can we protect our brain by finding effective coping strategies? How can we focus on what we can control to ensure our daily well-being?

This is precisely the aim of our series of articles and recommendations that we are going to launch for the coming weeks:

#TAKINGCAREOF

These resources will be based on the best of scientific research (1) and our field studies.

The aim of this approach is for us to better understand this period in order to develop not only our abilities to tolerate ambiguity and the unknown, but also our management of our attentional resources and our emotions.

Let this unprecedented moment of confinement be a moment to recharge your batteries professionally and personally and acquire new knowledge about myself and others.

Let's take the opportunity to...

• ... take the best of what we have learned and implemented.
• ... make lasting use of all this new knowledge and habits acquired during this period.
• ... finally, to build for our next few months a more serene environment for individual and collective well-being.
