Unplug from the News
With the 24/7 news cycle, it is easy to become overwhelmed. While it is important to stay informed, it is even more important to know your limits. Monitor how you feel after news consumption. Feeling preoccupied or very upset by national events may be a sign to cut back on your news intake and limit social media discussions.
- Consider scheduling a short block of time in the morning and one in the evening to catch up on news without checking for every new update during the day.
- During “news breaks,” take time to focus on something enjoyable, such as a hobby, exercising, being in nature or spending time with family and friends. AllTrails offers information about hiking trails, and includes maps, pictures, information about difficulty, timing and directions of how to get there!
