actually having guardrails against just letting
Whatever is being said online, whatever is going on on the internet, enter your life prominently and all the time.
At some point, your desire to be informed could actually turn into over-monitoring, could actually turn into an anxiety-soothing mechanism where, again, we have this anxiety about our future and this anxiety about the world such that we dig further in and we look for more information and we look for more, I don't know, more knowledge about what's happening.
And it becomes counteractive.
It becomes more harmful than it is good.
So it is okay to step back.
It is okay to be like, I don't actually want to, you know, blare terrible world events into my eyes.
at all time and to just choose to put boundaries around it.
Choose to only look at the news for 20 minutes on your lunch break.
Choose again to not have your phone in bed with you, to not be engaging with content online that is making you feel negative about the world.
not listening to true crime, not always like engaging with the violent content.
And I do actually think that that's going to make you feel better about not just the global future, but your future as well.
Just like balancing your need to be informed and your need for closure or predictability with also your human need to just like have some peace and just to exist and just to not feel guilty about experiencing some level of joy.
I think as I wrap up this episode, let me just say, if you're in your 20s, I think it would be abnormal to not have anxiety about the future, right?
It is like the most normal feeling to have this feeling right now that you don't know and that you are unsure and that you really could do with somebody in your life who had the crystal ball, who could just like tell you how it's going to work out.
So have some kindness for yourself, have some grace.
like just give yourself a little bit of credit.
You are building a life.
You are building something that has never been built before, right?
Your life, the blueprint for your life is completely individual, completely up to you.
