Lesson Overview

33.13 – When the News Gets Too Heavy to Handle: Staying informed matters, but constant exposure to tragedy can drain your mental health. News fatigue happens when every headline feels personal, leaving you anxious or numb. It’s okay to pause without feeling uninformed. Limit scrolling, choose reliable sources, and schedule breaks just like meals or classes. Discussing stories with trusted friends can turn helplessness into shared reflection. Remember, compassion is powerful, but boundaries keep it sustainable. Replace doom-scrolling with small acts of care that remind you change still exists in daily life. Reading positive stories balances your perspective and prevents burnout. The world’s problems are vast, but your responsibility is to stay steady enough to keep helping. Being informed should build empathy, not despair. Protect your mind so you can keep your heart engaged, ready to turn awareness into thoughtful, long-term action.
