When was the last time you thought about the kind of messaging that continually enters your mind? The reality is, the messages we’re so often bombarded with weigh us down and cause stress in the back of our minds. A lot of the time, we’re not even aware it’s happening. We habitually make choices to consume content that creates anxiety, unaware that we’re programming ourselves to be stressed, unhappy or sick.

In today's episode, I’m talking about how the media we consume shapes our mental landscape and overall well-being. We explore the hidden ways that news cycles, social media and digital content secretly program our minds for stress and anxiety. From doom-scrolling news feeds to the comparative trap of social media, we're uncovering how these daily habits might be sabotaging your peace of mind.

I take you through some real-world examples, including how local news consumption can trigger unnecessary fear responses and how social media narratives about aging and health can create self-fulfilling prophecies. Plus, we take a look at the science behind the mind-body connection, exploring how the placebo and nocebo effects demonstrate the incredible power our thoughts have over our physical well-being.

Key Takeaways:

• The news cycle and social media can create subliminal stress that affects our daily lives
• Our beliefs and expectations can physically manifest in our bodies
• Practical tips for auditing and moderating your content consumption
• The importance of choosing media that serves your well-being
• Strategies for breaking free from the comparison trap on social media
