Two fixed times for the news, and the apps stay closed in between.
Pick two fixed times to catch up on the news, for example once late morning and once early evening, and leave news and social media apps closed in between. Being informed is useful; a constant stream of information about negative events can be upsetting, which is why the CDC suggests limiting news to a couple of times a day and disconnecting from phone, TV and computer screens for a while. Use the freed-up minutes for something that helps you unwind: a few deep breaths, a stretch or a short walk. If stress feels unmanageable, talk to someone you trust or a health professional.
