For me it was stepping away from the 24 hour news cycle. Constantly being fed outrage made everything seem like an emergency. I made a rule to only check facts from proper sources, not opinion shows. That simple habit change stopped the feeling of always being on edge. My own research into topics, not just reacting to headlines, helped the most. It really does feel like unplugging from a machine built to make you mad.

That 'before the stamps' logic applies to so much more than work.

Wish I'd done that too.
