Amy Morin provides these tips:
- Know your values. Act according to those values. Don’t let the bad behavior of others bring out the worst in you. Take positive action.
- Set limits on your social media consumption. Don’t consider people as being above or below you. Reframe the way you think and view them as opinion holders instead of direct competitors.
- Cut back on the overthinking. Change the channel in your brain. Refocus your attention on something else or engage in a mood-boosting activity.
