Bad news

If you are feeling overwhelmed by all the bad news recently, you're not alone. In Australia we've had bushfires and now floods on top of a global pandemic. Plus there's the usual bad news - domestic violence, crime, tragic accidents... you get the idea. So how do you keep from being overwhelmed by all the bad news? 
  • Do some deep breathing - it sounds simple, but it works.
  • Make a list of all the good things in the world - friends, ice cream, sunshine...
  • Look after your physical health - eat well, exercise and get enough sleep.
  • Do things that bring you joy - watch a funny tv show, draw, run, bake, spend time with friends.
  • Turn of the news and hour phone - before modern communication you were only exposed to bad news that happened locally, but now your exposed to bad news on a global scale. Spending a lot of time on your devices is not good for your mental health so turn it off sometimes or leave it in another room.
  • Talk to someone - they don't have to be a counsellor or psychologist, anyone will do. Sometimes just talking about stuff makes you feel better.

Shine from Within are offering a free two week trial of their online academy. This includes access to both live and recorded workshops on topics such as activism, movement, wellness, creativity and life skills. There are presenters from around the world.  You can find a very informative video on their website about the online academy - https://shinefromwithin.academy. I have done some of the classes myself and really enjoyed them. The great thing is, you can access them from anywhere. Once your free trial is up, it only costs $25 per month. It would be a great thing to do during the Easter break.
