Turn off the TV. Turn off all social media. Turn off any negative influences. Eat as healthy as you possibly can. Exercise, yoga, tai chi, or anything that gets you moving. Enjoy the benefits of all the time you thought you didn't have while having really good mental power because of your healthy diet and exercise. Live a good life.
I am really curious how you did that. The negativity on social media and politics today is really affecting my mental health and I don't know how to switch it off
This too was a problem for me (and sometimes continues to be). I've been using `hosts` (https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts) to block all of the social sites so I have to rethink my decision to visit one. It's enough of a hiccup to stop the mindlessness of it. Thankfully, Hacker News still feels valuable and worth the time I spend on it.
