Information Clutter




I stopped watching the news when my boys were little.  It was depressing and not a full view of reality.  Bad news is designed to meet an agenda…. ratings and money.  As a parent, I knew my first job was to care for my own well-being.  How could I share positive energy with my kids if I was bathing in fearful images? 

What would happen if you stopped watching, reading or listening to the news?  How would you feel?  Do you need to be "informed” in that way?  What will be the result if you don't know what is happening beyond your sight every day?  Are you sure?  Do you need to be sure?  What are the consequences of watching negativity and violence?  Just for today, can you turn off the news, risk being "uninformed" and just experience your life?
