Heartbreaking headlines and tragedies can be overwhelming. While staying informed about the world is important, prioritizing your mental well-being is crucial. 🧠📺 👉 Here are five tips to help manage media stress: 1️⃣ Limit Your Exposure: Set specific times to check the news, rather than scrolling endlessly. 2️⃣ Focus on Positive News: Seek out uplifting stories that highlight resilience, hope, and community support. Balance is key! 3️⃣ Take Breaks: Step away from screens and engage in activities that bring you joy and relaxation. 4️⃣ Practice Mindfulness: Incorporate meditation or deep-breathing exercises into your daily routine to center yourself. 5️⃣ Reach Out: Talk to friends or family about how you’re feeling—connection can be a powerful healer. Your mental health matters! Let’s take care of ourselves and each other. 💚 https://hubs.la/Q02V7sBb0 #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness #mediastress #stressrelief #mentalhealthtips #stresstips #positivity
