Managing your media relationship

The majority of us have a relationship with media, be it mainstream, social or both.  And, I suspect we started using it to become more informed, better connected and as a way of relaxing.  I find for a lot of people I work with, their relationship with it has turned into something different.  One which now brings anxiety, worries, pressure and ill-feelings.  We can't determine what is written, printed or posted but we can determine what is good for us to read and what is not.  I would encourage anyone to take some time to think about their relationship with social media sites and news stories.  To consider "what do I want to gain from them and do they actually provide that?".  If not, it's imperative to re-negotiate your boundaries with what you are using and perhaps have a total detox to establish how you feel without it.  Just because it's 'out there' and has been 'published/posted' doesn't mean we need to read or consume it, if it's not good for us.  Take care on-line!
