The News Cycle Is a Stress Monster. But There’s a Healthy Way to Stay Informed.
Some days it feels like the world is falling apart—war, disaster, division—and the urge to look away is real. But many of us keep scrolling, searching for answers, for meaning, or simply to feel less helpless. The cost? It can be high. Constant exposure to distressing headlines doesn’t just leave us informed—it can leave us emotionally drained. This guide doesn’t ask you to unplug completely. Instead, it offers a way to stay connected without unraveling: by consuming the news with intention, awareness, and care for your own mental well-being. If you’re reading Today in Minot, you’re on to an alternative that is being intentional about being better, but if that’s not enough, this advice from Reza Shabahang writing at The Conversation may provide further insight.
