Coping with Stress & Anxiety from Current World Events

With so much happening in the world, it’s natural to feel overwhelmed, anxious, or even helpless at times. Constant exposure to the news and ongoing uncertainty can take a toll on both our mental and emotional health.

Here are a few ways to help manage those feelings:

• Limit media intake – Stay informed, but give yourself breaks from the 24/7 cycle.

• Focus on what you can control – Ground yourself in your daily routines and personal goals.

• Practice calming techniques – Deep breathing, meditation, and mindfulness can reduce stress.

• Connect with others – Talk with friends, family, or support groups to process your feelings.

• Prioritize self-care – Move your body, rest, and engage in activities that bring you peace.

Remember, it’s okay to step back when things feel heavy. Protecting your mental health allows you to show up stronger for yourself and others. 💙
