1. never listen, read or discuss news of any type. it serves no beneficial purpose.
2. read more tolstoy.
3. get stronger.
4. spend more $.
5. stretch.
Those are all solid. I’ve been trying to wean myself off news. You’re right, it serves no purpose. But it’s hard. I don’t want to feel (or be) uninformed.
Hey, I wonder if the whole country swore off news what would happen. I think the country would be better informed, because they would get no news instead of the fake news they gobble up on facebook, instagram, fox, breitbart, infowars, etc.

All solid.
But 4. is to make more money to insulate myself more from the deplorables.

I feel the same zk.
Some of the details is the news serve no purpose, but I don’t want to be uninformed.
But as garrison Keilor said, smell the roses more.
I keep mine easy so I stick with them and they become habit.
1. Stretch (that’s a good one, started a 15 min yoga regimen a few days ago)
2. Shoot hoops with my kid most weekends
3. Floss more
I couldn’t stop reading the news entirely, but I have stopped reading political news/debates/FB posts. Feels great so far, having less negativity in my life.
