Day 1,244 of the Adventure
I've heard it said that the best way to develop a more positive outlook on life is to STOP watching the news. I'll admit that I'm a bit of a news junkie but mostly I'd have to agree with this. Being informed is important..... I suppose..... but there comes a point where it becomes counter-productive. It feels like so much of it exists to do nothing more than to stir up emotions for or against something. It builds up anxiety towards other people and ideas. In reality, I'm not sure that complete abstinence from the news is a bad thing. Honestly, the times I've totally ignored the news did not hinder my life in the least. In fact, it helped me stay focused on more important things to my life. Most recently, I've been following news mainly that has to do with trending economic conditions. Some that has to do with social conditions. Both of them effect my thoughts about how to stay prepared for six to twelve months down the road. Of course, this is nothing more than an attempt to predict the future. Or maybe how to recognize the writing on the wall. My continued belief is that times are going to continue to be difficult for a while. Nothing seems to change my perspective on that. So, with that said, I intend to browse headlines in the event of something unexpected. Beyond that though, I plan to heed my own advice and take an extended break from it to "detox" from the mostly negativity. Time to focus on the spring season and continue building the self-sufficient life we've begun. After all, self-sufficiency will serve us well if things get better. It will serve us even more if things decline. With that said........
