Living Well in Anxious Times

Terrible news about war and terrorism can be extremely unsettling, but completely avoiding news is probably not the best solution. To strike a balance, consider these few tips: 1) Schedule—not just prioritize—your self-care practices such as exercise, meditation, and hobbies to help reduce stress and promote mental well-being. 2) Maintain a supportive network of loved ones you can share concerns and process emotions with. 3) Focus on what you can control—your goals, daily activities, and well-being are still important! 4) If anxiety feels overwhelming, speak to a mental health professional at your Employee Assistance Program (EAP). 5) There are now free apps that block other apps and let you get news or schedule access only at specific times. Some will even block you from tweaking the schedule in case you get the urge to peek! Learn more about the 5 Best App Blocker Apps to Boost Your Productivity.
