Just dont watch the news

Hey buddy, listen to music, keep yourself busy. Get a hobby, hit the gym, yk whatever.

Listen to NPR-style reporting where the political news is interspersed with arts and culture. Round out your media diet so you aren’t exposed to humanity’s worst parts constantly

it’s ok to just take a break and step back for a little

If you wanna keep up to date without going bonkers, take regular breaks from reading about politics throughout your day.

A few ways: Have a friend or family member tell you about anything important. Ask ChatGpt to provide a brief summary. Watch some shows that cover it in a humorous way. Only view “breaking news.” Or for every “bad story” look at a good one.

Staying informed just to be informed is terrible for your mental health, and not very useful. Get out of the 24/hr news cycle, get off of social media and read books on politics instead. You can consume the news, but try to limit how often you do. Once a week is plenty. If you can, narrow your consumption down to just a couple issues.
