News Junkies Check In

Bro don't read too much news they are made to make you depressed and scared as fuck.

 

Replace news with propaganda and then ask yourself why the hell you would want to read that all day, let alone at all.

 

I wouldn't say I'm a new junkie but I do follow it. I have several news apps on my phone but only look at them a few times a week. I buy a physical newspaper a few times a year. Most mornings I have breakfast while listening to 'Today' on BBC Radio 4. The thing I like about it is they're impartial and give both conservatives and liberals equal air time. Another that's great is that they have 'Thought for the Day' where each day they have a different religious/spiritual speaker. I don't always agree with what is said but it's nice to take a break from the news and have a religious/spiritual thought to ponder. As far as I know, it's the only news show that has that sort of thing.

 

Try to limit your news I take every day. Remove apps and use a fairly "impartial" source. I limit myself to 10 minutes every day (sometimes a bit longer) which is enough to catch up. I also noticed it heavily affected my mood (in a negative way).
