Start with a digital detox.

In these critical times, you can either choose to focus on fear, or love.

Almost everything that you’re consuming these days, is negative. Designed to instil fear. To create chaos, uncertainty and worry. You have the power. You can choose love instead. When you turn your attention to love, and eliminate the things that cause fear, something magical happens.

Start small. Try this, for one day, don’t watch the news and don’t give your attention to anything news related on social media.

Notice how you feel at the end of the day. A small change, a noticeable shift.

Try this for a week, a month. And you’ll be surprised by the result.

If you have to watch the news, limit the time that you spend doing so. Don’t do it first thing in the morning, or last thing before going to bed. Work it into your day. Say for 30 minutes to one hour max. But don’t give into having to know what’s going on 24/7.

You matter. You deserve to feel safe and to take some time out to rest and restore.

When we’re consuming negative content most of the day, our brains are in constant fight or flight. Like we’re being chased by tigers and lions. Your brain does not know the difference. Your nervous system needs some time out. Time to reset, pause and reach a state of equilibrium.

You can do this. One day at a time.

Be kind to yourself.

You are loved and supported.
