According to Erick Schimit, former CEO of Google, “Every two days we generate a volume of data equivalent to what we created from the beginning of civilization until 2003”.
If we were already receiving a huge amount of information daily before the pandemic, imagine now! Work, studies, shopping, entertainment, “lives” after “lives”… It all comes down to the digital world. But this can have a negative impact of us.
According to research, depression has grown 18% in ten years. By this year, 2020, this will be the most disabling disease on the planet, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). In times of pandemic, WHO predicts an increase in cases of mental health, due to issues related to stress, anxiety and social distancing.
Therefore, it has become more important than ever to take care of your emotional intelligence by selecting the amount and quality of information you choose to receive. Otherwise, you generate more anxiety and stress. Selecting positive content will definitely have a huge impact on your thoughts and mindset.
Invest your presence and attention in what really matters to you right now. And think about this: How have you been feeling with the information you have chosen to consume? Is it worth thinking about? Is it adding value to you? 🙂
