Did you know that doomscrolling is more than just a habit? It is a clear example of how our minds are wired for negative news. When we see distressing headlines or catastrophic events, our brain releases dopamine and creates a loop that feels rewarding at first but ultimately increases our anxiety. This process is linked to an ancient survival instinct that kept our ancestors alert to threats, even though today it simply keeps us glued to our screens. The constant battle with negative information can make us feel overwhelmed and powerless. The bright side is that experts suggest healthy habits to break the cycle. For instance, setting strict times to check the news, stepping away to enjoy nature, and curating your social media feed to include more uplifting content can really help reset your stress levels. Small, mindful changes can give you back control over your time and your feelings.
