Media burnout

[nodle]

Anyone else getting media burnout lately? Seems like America is such a dumpster fire lately that is all you see on the media anymore. I think staying up on current events is important but it can really change your attitude and make you a media zombie at the same time. Sometimes you just need to disconnect yourself.

Just like with most things, moderation is best policy. I usually try to catch the opening 15 minute monologue of my favorite political/news show in the evening and that's about it. Too much will just put you in a bad mood or get you worked up, and that is by design.

One thing that I really need to work on is spending less time on my phone in the evenings. I have been in this funk of just sitting on X and scrolling endlessly to end my evening. I need to stop doing that so much.

All this war stuff and seeing these kids and people hurt on the media is really bumming me out. I think I am going to step away from them some.

Yes I agree, it gets tiresome.
