I’ll be honest, banning yourself from news helps me a lot because sometimes it’s 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.

It’s not healthy to be connected constantly to bad news every day.
