Mindfulness and meditation techniques for anxiety management

Lately, I've been finding myself really overwhelmed by the news surrounding the situation in Iran. Every time I see a headline or a news report, it just adds to a growing sense of anxiety and stress that's started to impact my daily life. I worry about the potential for escalation, the human cost, and how it might affect the world. It's hard to focus on work or even enjoy simple things when my mind is constantly drifting to these heavy thoughts. I've noticed my sleep isn't as good, and I feel a general sense of unease throughout the day. I know it's important to stay informed, but I'm struggling with how to process it all without letting it consume me. Has anyone else experienced this kind of stress related to global events? How do you cope and maintain some sense of peace in your lifestyle when the world feels so turbulent?
