With 24/7 news cycles, social media, and push notifications constantly vying for our attention, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. If you find yourself mentally exhausted from global events, here are some mental health tips to help you regain balance.
1. Limit Your News Intake
One of the simplest ways to protect your mental health is to control how often you consume the news. Set a specific time to check updates, rather than mindlessly scrolling. Use the Life Planner app’s *Habit Scheduler* to schedule a daily check-in and avoid excessive news consumption.
2. Practice Mindful Journaling
Writing down your thoughts and feelings can help you process emotions tied to global news. Life Planner’s *Journal* and *Mood Tracker* features offer an easy way to record your reflections and identify patterns over time.
3. Stay Connected with Loved Ones
Sharing your concerns with friends or family can be a tremendous relief. Regular social connections foster resilience. Use Life Planner’s *Todo List* to plan catch-ups or video calls with your support network.
4. Focus on What You Can Control
During uncertain times, it’s easy to feel powerless. Direct your energy into actions you can take, such as volunteering or learning a new skill. Track your progress using Life Planner’s *Habit Progress Tracking* to build confidence and stay productive.
5. Take Breaks from Digital Media
Stepping away from screens helps reduce anxiety. Schedule regular tech-free intervals using Life Planner’s *Habit Reminders* for gentle nudges to rest and reset.
By following these mental health tips, you can stay grounded and resilient even as global events unfold around you.
