Scary world news can affect our mental health. After learning about global events that cause uncertainty, you may feel fear, anxiety or a loss of control over your own life and plans. You may worry for the safety of strangers, loved ones or yourself. And if you have lived through similar events in the past, it may bring up traumatic memories.

✨Know that whatever you feel is valid. And know that you are not alone in this.

Stay informed, but be aware of your limits
Ask yourself, "how much information and scary world news am I currently taking in? And how does it make me feel?"

If it’s having a negative effect on how you feel, try to:
★Take a short break from the news
★Mute or turn off news notifications on your smartphone 
★Mute or unfollow social media accounts that are reporting on it or limit your news intake to once a day.

After you’ve had a break, ask yourself "how do I feel now that I’ve had a space from the news?"

If you find that the break has helped, then try to continue
-to stay informed in bitesize portions
-to take space from the news when you need to
-to pause and check in on how you feel
-to engage with different social media platforms based on how they make you feel

Over and above those, try to be intentional in how you are consuming news, and, as much as you can, avoid long 'scrolling through' sessions.

Try to accept that, although we may want to help or change the current global and national situation, some of these things may be out of our control.

★Aware ★ Informed ★ Focused ★ Fixated
