My best advice is to NOT check the news and avoid news and politics heavy socials for at least 30 minutes on waking. It's going to be crap news every day for the foreseeable. Also check stuff out like positive.news which isn't all happy clappy hogwash but points to a trend of improvements worldwide?
This is good advice and something I need to work on. Routine of alarm off, BBC, Bluesky is not working for me.
I can cope better than many and even my head is melting. That's why I swerve the main feeds and focus on my own thing for now. You can't pour from an empty cup as some like to say. Also BBC is compromised in a very smart way where they twist facts to incite hatred against🌹more than they deserve. SMH
Yes, I know. So disappointing to see the BBC fall for this crap. All other stuff is like morbid curiosity. Like watching some grisly traffic accident and not being able to look away. With added horror of possible real consequences for those who watch.
Example: "Biodiversity was brought into focus, Helsinki went a year without a road death, and investment in renewables surged, plus more good news…" www.positive.news/society/good...
Usually, it's at least two hours after I wake up before I consume political media. I make & eat breakfast & check my emails first before doing that. I never watch Fox News, Newsmax, etc., but I watch MSNBC (soon to be MS NOW) or CNN only if there's a breaking news story that demands my attention.
Fair comment and good advice! I'm better off taking at minimum a long break from my circus for a while, as I try sort myself out. The news is enough to drive normies to drink, nevermind people like me with multiple NeuroSPICY, trauma, and addiction issues going on. I'm focusing on me & mine for now!
