Our generation has been witnessing a lot of things happening in the world, from wars to protests to catastrophes to diseases. Something that usually contributes to our anxiety and lack of peace of mind. Whenever you check social media platforms, you probably find plenty of sad news and shocking events around the world, and that affects your mental health immensely without even realizing it. Because we care about our readers, we want to share some great tips on how to care for your mental health during the current political circumstances, so keep reading.

10 Ways To Help You Cope With Noisy Colleagues At Work

Take a break from social media

Whether it is a 7-Richter earthquake or a genocide in a sister country, the news will be devastating to us. Keeping up with the incidents and being interested to know the exact details and updates about the situation can really affect your mental health and make you unconsciously sad and in a bad mood. Even though it is good to sympathize with other people who are facing unfortunate situations, it can affect you immensely, especially when there’s nothing you can do about it. The best thing you can do is to take a break from the social media platform for a while until you’re mentally able to keep up with such events.

Contribute in any way

While in some situations it’ll be difficult to do anything, you may have a chance to offer help in some other situations. You can always donate money to trusted charities and organizations, trusting that your contribution will help the people or the country. Your contribution doesn’t have to stop at giving money; you can always donate food, clothes, medicine, or actual charity work by visiting the places that are suffering, if possible.

Indulge in different activities

Now that you’ve taken a break from social media platforms, how about engaging in different activities that will take your mind off the current events for a while? Do something else that could bring you joy, even if it is temporary. Play sports, watch movies or shows, go out with friends and talk about happy things, or travel to a serene destination where you can relax and unwind.

Look up positive events

It can be depressing to read only sad, devastating news everywhere and all the time. Make an effort to look up some happy or positive events happening in your country or any other country. People may not be too keen on sharing positive news in the midst of sad events. Therefore, you have to search for them yourself. You will regain your faith in humanity afterwards, even for a limited time.

40 Things To Do Before Turning 40!

Express your opinion publicly

Contributing to the affected places or people doesn’t have to be through physical or material stuff. You can also contribute with your voice, raising awareness and helping people understand what’s happening. This could actually be great if you’re a blogger, content creator, or someone who has many followers. Your voice needs to be heard by the people who love and trust you. Advice and encourage your followers and loved ones to donate and contribute to the affected countries or people. That will make you feel good about yourself and will surely affect your mental health positively.

Share information about helping organizations

Since your voice is heard and you’re trusted by a number of people, make sure you share with them all the profiles and organizations’ bank account numbers that they can donate to. Before doing so, you have to be sure of every piece of information you’re sharing so that you don’t mislead people.

Stay informed and educated

Not knowing what’s happening around you can be really confusing and frustrating. Therefore, you have to stay informed and educate yourself about the current situation. Read as many articles and ask as many people as possible to have a thorough understanding of what’s happening around you. This will help you decide which side you should be on, especially during wars or conflicts.

Pray for the people

The last thing you need to do for any unfortunate situation or event happening around you is to pray for the poor people who are tragically affected. Some people may have lost their houses, families, or worse, their countries, so make it your job to pray for them all the time. That’s the least they can do for the poor, unfortunate people who are facing tragic events at the moment.
