With the constant news updates, social media notifications, and work emails, it's easy to feel like you're drowning in information. In these times, it's important to practice information hygiene. Just like we practice personal hygiene to keep ourselves physically clean and healthy, we can practice information hygiene to keep our minds healthy and clear. One way to practice information hygiene is by setting boundaries around your consumption of news and social media. It's important to stay informed, but constantly refreshing your news feed or checking your phone for updates can be exhausting and anxiety-inducing. Instead, try setting specific times of day to check the news or social media, and stick to those times. You can also consider muting or unfollowing accounts that don't add value to your life. Another way to practice information hygiene is by being mindful of the sources you're consuming. Not all news sources are created equal, and some may have a negative impact on your mental health. Try to seek out reputable sources of information and fact-check what you're reading before sharing it with others. Finally, it's important to take breaks from information altogether. Give your brain a chance to rest and recharge by spending time in nature, reading a book, or practicing mindfulness. By practicing information hygiene, you can create a healthier relationship with the information around you and maintain a clear and focused mind.
