Do you watch the news?

About a year ago, I stopped watching mainstream news, I stopped reading a newspaper and I switched off from the world at large and I haven’t looked back.  I was in a difficult place emotionally a year ago and probably had far too much other stuff to deal with and maybe my decision to stop watching the news was borne from that, I just couldn’t deal with anything else negative in my life.

Which is an interesting point, because actually a lot of the mainstream news is negative. Now that I’m feeling more emotionally whole, I have been pondering whether I should let mainstream news back into my life? I have to say it wouldn’t be because I want to, but a friend of mine mentioned that when you are depressed you can shut out the news of the world around you and I know that I’m no longer in that place.

After a quick google, I found an interesting article which reaffirmed my decision to shut the news out of my life – http://open.bufferapp.com/mainstream-news/ – it also makes a good point about surrounding yourself with positive people, people that reaffirm the good things about you and people that you can rely on. This has been a major game changer for me of late.

I now feel happier and better than I have in a long time, and that is without a doubt influenced by the people in my life.

So as part of my continued Self Discovery I’m just about to sign up for the Sacred alone course run by Susannah Conway http://www.susannahconway.com/the-sacred-alone-registration/ – I have read lots of good reviews about it and found her website inspiring. So any of you who wish to join me, please click the link and register now 🙂

Have a great day.

Take care
