Notice what emotions an image or video trigger
When an image or video makes you angry, frightened, sad or extremely enthusiastic, this is often a signal to pause. Take a moment to reflect and ask yourself questions such as:
- Why does this image affect me so strongly? Does it evoke strong emotions or doubts?
- What is the creator trying to do: inform, persuade or manipulate?
- Why am I seeing this image? Does it play into my existing beliefs or fears?
