The world feels like a never-ending storm of bad news right now. It's completely normal that this is a burden and that sometimes you don't know how to deal with it all without despairing. 😪 But that's exactly why it's all the more important that you develop strategies to keep calm inside - not because you should close your eyes to reality, but because you need strength to carry on. 💪🌸

💟 Acknowledge your feelings

You are not "too sensitive," not "too pessimistic," and not "too emotional" if all of this is bothering you. It is human to have compassion.

💖 Talk to someone who feels the same way.
💖 Write down your thoughts if they won't let you go.

💟 Limit your news consumption

It's important to stay informed – but it's just as important not to get stuck in a never-ending spiral of negativity.

💖 Set fixed times for messages (e.g. morning and evening).
💖 Avoid doomscrolling – constantly scrolling through negative headlines.
💖 Be careful which media you get your information from – reputable sources are better than algorithms that drive you further and further into fear.

💟 Do what you can influence

There are many things you cannot change. But there are also many things you can influence. And that is exactly where you should focus your energy. Every little action counts!

💖 Get involved in something that fights for values ​​that are important to you.
💖 Donate if you can – be it money, time or attention.
💖 Talk to those around you about grievances and raise awareness where necessary.
💖 Go vote – and remind others to do the same.

💟 Treat yourself to something that is good for you

Joy is a source of strength that you need to avoid burnout.

💖 Treat yourself to beautiful moments – music, nature, good food, people you love.
💖 Laugh at something funny without feeling bad.
💖 Celebrate your small successes – and those of the people around you.

💟 Find support in what strengthens you

Everyone has things that give them stability. Maybe it's a certain routine, a hobby, conversations with close friends or simply consciously enjoying a moment without distraction. Find out what strengthens you when everything becomes too much.

💖 A small daily habit that calms you down (e.g. a cup of tea, a walk, a large portion of cookies).
💖 People you can talk to.
💖 A book, a film, a radio play that comforts you.

Find your anchor to maintain your inner peace.

Stay informed, stay active – but don’t forget to take care of yourself too. Because you are needed!
