News Is Really Bad For You
Do
You Really Want To Give Your Time And Energy Drowning Yourself In Bad
News So You Can Appear
Well
Informed To Someone You Perhaps Don’t Even Care About?
When
I decided to simplify my life, I particularly canceled my habit to
reading the daily news.
My
aim was really to make more time for the kind of reading and thinking
I really want to do, and I wanted to economize on the chunk of
physical, emotional and psychological disarray that came into my
domain via media
In
analyzing the advantage of my media cut off, the most important
benefit was with my vulnerability to the psychological and emotional
stress of what passes as news. I lessened the anxiety of terrorism,
starvation, calamities, atrocities, political controversies,
corruption, the fall of the economy, the apparent worsening of
immorality.
While
you begin to go inward, you might need to consider cutting back on
the frequency you spend in keeping pace with current affairs.
Few
things can upset your peace of mind as quicker than a shock of bad
news. The bad part is that: Until we are adjusted into our focus:
Were frequently not even familiar of the negative blow tuning into
the obvious bad situations of the world can have an effect on us.
I
realized it was a great release to be able to pull the plug from the
negativity of daily news.
Do
not get me wrong, Yes, Journalism was my passion in college and
society needs Journalism-but in a diverse way. Investigative
Journalism is always significant. We need reporting that polices and
uphold organization and institution. To uncover truth.
There
will always be people and media businesses hunting bad news. And
there will always be people who are absorbed to it.
But
if you are taking off on a spiritual journey or simply wanting a
peaceful life, it is surely that you will choose real personal growth
than your urge to be constantly in the know.
At
the absolute minimum, you may desire to be discriminating about the
kind and the load of information you allow yourself to be challenged
with.
Throwing
out even some of the psychological garbage of bad news will
considerably aid your inner tranquility.
Just
this morning my neighbor ask me what I think about the latest
controversy involving the President since during the campaign a was
so vocal in social media expressing difference in opinions and
opposing views.
This
time I was quick to tell them “I try not to think about the current
events.” It has captured quite of my time to get to the
realization that I could concede openly that the latest news is
simply not my bigger interest.
I
do not have to make people feel “in the wrong” because they
prefer to waste their time tracking some breaking headlines.
If
the latest headline is your excitement, or
it is your job, then
you’ll certainly desire to remain knowledgeable. But if you are
keeping up with the news just so you can show to be in the “Know”
when someone who is doing the same stuff ask you about it, most
probably you need to think about your priorities.

If
you want to keep in touch with what is going on in the planet, its
not important to waste time with tabloid, TV and social media.
Instead
of spending hours with the newspaper, I put
up with the world happenings by browsing the caption. If I come
across a topic which interest me, I can easily dig into it further.
Usually news feed are wrapped with misreport or inaccuracy in any
event. So although we think we might be learning substance by
consuming time reading or watching the news, most of the time we are
clearly magnetizing void contents.
Depends
on how you allocate your time. The moment you decided to analyze new
potential on the important balance of life, there
is a much more productive way than keeping up with the news.
Without disruption, minus anxiety, deeper concentration, more productivity, more wisdom. Its no picnic, but its all worth it.
