cut away from social media and news. it'll make you a sadder and angrier person and will rarely add anything meaningful to your life.
I cut out Facebook in 2020 an Twitter when it became X. I can't tell you how much that has improved my mental state.
that's fantastic!! for the media you still consume (youtube, Lemmy, etc.), avoid negative/angry/drama-driven communities and content. focus on positive things you really enjoy, like your hobbies, animals, uplifting news etc.
back when i still used reddit i cut out subreddits like antiwork and mildly infuriating and subbed to scrungy cats and things like that. my feed was so much brighter and it really made a different to my mental state and attitude!
