Iβll be honest, banning yourself from news helps me a lot because sometimes itβs just way too much for me.
I enjoy listening to my radio talk shows because in a bubble they have a rule for not talking about news in the world or politics for the most part.
I also have tools for some escapisms when I need it.
Itβs not healthy to be connected constantly to bad news every day.
Triple Mβs Rush hour, a lot of rubbish and nonsense type fun there which I donβt mind.
I have some other stuff on the side like all my sports podcasts but also have Sooshi Mango and Hamish and Andy as well.
My sports stuff are AFL and Cricket based as well.
