The Art of Mindful News Consumption

Written By Tracy Frederick

An AWARE Challenge for you - Be AWARE of your news consumption

Constant updates and sensational headlines can leave us feeling anxious and overwhelmed. This week, let's embrace a routine that allows informed living without the stress—mindful and selective news consumption.

Set limits: Decide on specific times to check the news and stick to them, whether once in the morning or evening.

Choose quality over quantity: Opt for sources known for factual reporting (rather than the ones on your social media feed) and in-depth analysis rather than sensationalism.

Engage with intention: Read or watch the news mindfully, paying attention to how it affects your emotions and adjusting your consumption habits accordingly.

Balance negativity with positivity: For every distressing article you read, seek out a piece of positive news to maintain perspective.

By controlling how and when you consume the news, you nurture a sense of peace, reducing anxiety and staying informed on your terms. My invitation for you is to become AWARE of how you engage with the news in order to find the balance that works for you to stay informed through reliable news sources, without becoming consumed.
