Riding Bipolar
Images from the news flood my brain. My heart weeps for the families of those affected. Pick the story. It doesn’t matter. One is just as awful as the next. Days go by with my stomach in knots, worrying about what might happen to my family. Can you relate? How do you regain your inner peace?
Every day lately, there are so many disturbing images in the news, making it hard to maintain your sanity. The stories rip your insides apart, and the video clips cut through your soul like swords of ice. From school shootings to the war in Ukraine, the intensity of the nightly news knocks down even the strongest among us.
Are you struggling to find your peace after the horrors broadcast every night on the news? Do you feel like all the negative has stolen the best of you? Here are 3 ways to regain your peace when the news stresses you out.
1. Spend time in nature and allow yourself to breathe fresh air. Listen to the birds singing and feel the sun on your face. Let the beauty of nature wash away some of the ugliness you’ve seen.
2. Turn off the news, and give yourself a break from all the negativity. Sometimes, ignorance really is bliss. Do something you enjoy and forget about the outside world for a while. It’s okay not to know every little thing happening in the world.
3. Get your thoughts and feelings down on paper. Writing can be therapeutic and can help you make sense of what you’re feeling. Journals give you a safe place to explore your feelings and get the noise out of your head.
The news is terrible, but it doesn’t have to rob you of your tranquility. Choose to take your thoughts back. You may not have the power to change the world, but you can control how you respond to what’s happening in it. Take back your thoughts. Reclaim your peace.
