I don’t watch the news.
Surprisingly,
I don’t miss much.
I get the bulk of the information
from headlines on the internet
and from discussions with others.
Not watching the news
was a conscious choice.
The majority of news stories
are downers.
I found they
devoured my optimism,
optimism I needed to feed
my creativity.
Mike Michalowicz shares
“In some cases,
burnout is a result of depression.
The constant negativity
perpetuated by news reports,
over time,
gives many people
the false belief that all of life is horrible.
And with that comes
depression and burnout.
Try not watching or reading
the news for 30 days.
It may be the perfect burnout cure.”
Need the optimism necessary
to create?
