Are You A News Junkie?

9/12/2019

Call me an info geek. I love reading and watching the news to a fault.  If I wake up at 2 am, I'll check every news app on my phone to find out the latest local, political, health, environmental, and entertainment news.  In the summer, I relish a morning with a cup of coffee and The Today Show.  But in the last year, my drive for news has changed. 
​
I started to notice how my body reacted to the news, and it wasn't positive.  Story after story included guns, lies, and fear-laced health scares.  My thoughts hung onto the alarming words and images.  I knew this wasn't a healthy way to live, surrounded by negativity and fear.  I shut it off and limited my exposure, and my life changed.  Now, I spend my energy on text and stories that fuel my growth and my passions.  I may not know the latest developments on JLo's engagement to ARod, but I'm willing to sacrifice that for my well-being.

How do you balance learning the news of the day while respecting your body and mind's reactions to it?
