Week 4: Stress Management

Clean up Psychological Pollution

Print on Demand

Skip the evening news. Watching or listening to the news can be stressful. Stories of crime, the economy, political battles, and community issues can be worrying and depressing. Stress hormones can make you feel more alert and less ready to sleep.

 

Avoid social media right before you go to bed, too. Positive or negative stories from friends and family may keep you awake. Add these to your “to-do” list if you need to follow-up. Give yourself a media curfew.
