Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
MBSR Intervention
Participants will engage with MBSR instructional videos. The videos are 30 minutes in length, and designed to be watched once a day, Monday-through-Friday, over an eight-week period. Additionally, a coaching video of three minutes in length will be available to participants on Mondays. Participants will watch the videos and engage with the content and activities as prompted by the videos. Activities include guided meditations, guided mindfulness activities, such as body scans where participants notice the sensations they feel in various parts of their body, and relaxation exercises. Participants will also be asked to complete light exercises to their comfort level, which involves getting comfortable, light self-guided stretching, and relaxation exercises that are no more physical exertion than they otherwise might experience while moving around completing their normal tasks/activities of daily living outside of this program.
