    Highly recommend to do “news breaks”.

    I really feel better since I started avoiding the news. I just read the headlines of some notifications on my phone and it’s enough for me.

    I feel almost as great as when I ditched Facebook a long time ago.

    Makes you realize how heavy the news can be to moral.

    Like the recent headlines about subsidized oil being very much a thing now. This is so very deeply disturbing I just can’t handle it. And I just read the headline I can’t even imagine reading a full article explaining to me that we are getting worse for climate change. We indeed are accelerating toward the cliff.

    Still, I feel still so much more relaxed not watching the news on any kind of video platform.

    Try it.

      In can’t agree more. I pretty much eliminated any real in depth reading of any article. Most are just plastered in ads. I see a headline that catches my interest, then I do an actual Google search for more information rather than go to the news page.
