15. [Accessing the Well] Taking a Media Break for Self-Care


Listen Later

Hello again wonderful souls! Today’s episode — though recorded before this global awakening hit — is surprisingly a propos. I give BIG TIME permission to taking media breaks early and often. Yes, that means not watching the news, taking a break from social media and even reducing podcast listening, WHAT!? Yes, I know, it seems counterintuitive, but even personal development podcasts are media and taking a media break is all about reducing stimulation and outside sources of information. Some of the tips in this episode include: 1) Why we need to take media breaks from time to time because of our evolution, 2) Identify the sources of media that are most overwhelming to you, 3) Figure out how to pare them down by either changing up routines or creating deterrents to media consumption, 4) Talk to friends about taking a break to get social support and 5) Find alternative activities to replace outside information with internal insights. Let us know what you think! I know this is a controversial topic and many will disagree. We want to hear your opinions! Please follow us on IG @infinite.well and share in the comments or in a DM so we can keep the conversation flowing. Until next time, enjoy Accessing the Well.
