What we think affects how we feel.
The information we input has impacts on what we output.
In this day and age of a pandemic, racial tension, an upcoming election, and even hurricane news, we are overwhelmed with information from the media. In counseling, I am hearing clients say more and more that they are seeing and feeling the effects of the amount of media (and social media) they are ingesting right now. The reality is, our world is hard right now. We must find a balance between being informed and being overloaded with information.
Take a gauge of how your media input is affecting you. Take a gauge of how your time on social media is impacting your mental health. Do you feel more anxious as a result of what you are taking in? More angry? More fearful?
While information is good, too much information can cause us to feel overloaded. Take a gauge of how your information input is impacting you, then take steps to create boundaries around what you are putting in your mind. Hopefully you and I both will experience more peace and less chaos as we are intentional about our input.
