Years ago only local news would be reported, maybe some international news and news was just on in the evening or what we read in the morning paper. Now it’s news from everywhere, and truly most is not relevant to us, and all the time. It’s insane.
Switch off the 24 hour news cycle.
And switch off 24 hour news notifications on your mobile too. Look at the news and weather in the morning, that’s it.
After years of stressing myself out I have come to the conclusion if something is personally important I will get a letter, a knock at the door or a personal message or phone call. No point worrying too much otherwise.
I keep up too, I read the national headlines and international newspapers. I don’t get notifications for anything. I don’t watch news shows at all. Surprisingly I’m still alive even though I don’t watch abc or sbs tv news or any of them. 😉

I like keeping across news and current events, although I definitely acknowledge the mental health impact of always consuming negative media.

Probably a healthy thing to do.
