034: Staying Informed Without Getting Overwhelmed


Listen Later

With all of the uncertainty in the world, it is more important now than ever to be informed, but it can be overwhelming to stay up to date since the news is everywhere and can feel pretty bleak sometimes. This episode is all about how to consume news media without becoming consumed by news media.

  • 3 tips to help you navigate uncertain times:

    • Be mindful of when you consume the news. Give yourself a time limit for consuming it, and try not to start or end your day with the news.
    • Have a helpful and uplifting mantra to repeat when you feel overwhelmed.
    • Do something that fills your cup after you watch the news and address your worries. This could be going for a walk, doing a hobby you love, listening to music, or anything else that shifts your energy in a healthy way.
    • Welcome to the Wake Up Call Podcast with Alicia Hopkins (that’s me!). I work in corporate sales by day and am a personal development guru and Life Coach by night. My goal in this podcast is to share valuable and actionable tips on what I call the “Core Four” - mindfulness, movement, habits, and growth - so you can build a life that feels true to you. I will be interviewing people who have had a “wake up call” that their good-on-paper life wasn’t lighting them up, and what they did to change that. Join us every week for a new episode of the Wake Up Call Podcast with Alicia Hopkins!
