Kaira Jule lingo discusses the importance of being mindful of the kind of information we consume and how we consume it. While it is natural to want to stay informed and show solidarity with those who are suffering, constantly indulging in doom-scrolling and hyper-arousal from negative news can have detrimental effects on our well-being.
