You don’t need me to remind you of how now more than ever, is a good time to practice some mindful media consumption. This means, selecting digital media to look at that is calming to the nervous system while also keeping your mind in the present. My YouTube channel has recently undergone a facelift and theme change to accommodate for this objective. There, you will find shorts and videos of nature sights and sounds. While it is important to get into a real natural space more than anything, if you are unable to reach a forest or green space or just need immediate access to something calming then watching nature content is helpful for reducing stress. I recently acquired a GoPro Hero12 creator kit and have been using this to build up some new content on my YouTube channel; I shoot the longer videos in landscape mode on the GoPro and the shorter videos (shorts which garner the most attention at this time) with my iPhone in portrait mode. The shorts are small bursts of fun while the videos are longer serene digital forest baths for longer mindful practice. Both formats will bring positive results to the viewer and is a means to offset whatever other harmful (negative) media they maybe consuming.
