Control your screen time

Sometimes the content on social networks is overloaded with different emotions, which, moreover, change quickly. Try to avoid disturbing news, posts, scary and emotional films.

You can unsubscribe from annoying content, block it, and generally monitor your screen time.

This practice will save your energy and strength.

Set boundaries

To prevent emotional overload, it is important to set boundaries.

Decide for yourself what is acceptable for you in communication and what is not. Do not forget to voice in advance what words or topics it is better for the interlocutor to avoid. In this way, you will also prevent discomfort.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, try going for a walk, going to the gym, or taking a relaxing bath.
