To use these templates, simply choose a statement that fits your audience and post it along with a call to action, such as 'Fact or Fiction? What do you think?' After members respond, reveal the correct answer and share reputable sources or tips. Rotate topics weekly, encourage respectful discussion, and highlight member insights to keep the format fresh and engaging.
On all platforms, ensure your Fact or Fiction post is visually clear and easy to interact with. Use polls, quizzes, or simple text posts as appropriate. Pin popular threads, thank participants, and feature insightful comments to boost visibility and ongoing engagement.
You can craft Fact or Fiction posts around statements like 'Mindfulness means clearing your mind completely' or 'You need an hour each day to benefit from mindfulness.' These provoke discussion, help debunk myths, and educate members on evidence-based mindfulness practices specific to stress reduction.
Focus on statements like 'Stress always causes high blood pressure' or 'Short-term stress can boost performance.'

Absolutely. For instance, use Fact or Fiction statements like 'Avoiding stressful situations is an effective long-term coping strategy' or 'Progressive muscle relaxation is only helpful for people with anxiety.'

Encourage anonymous responses or polls for sensitive topics, and preface posts by normalizing misconceptions (e.g., 'Many people believe...').
