Dear James, Daniel and Emily,
Last week while on furlough I made a conscious effort to not spend time on the web reading the news and news blogs. And it was really refreshing. I had gotten so caught up in the never ending cycle of ADD politics that I was feeling continually stressed by news and politics.
So when I returned to work this week I decided to try and make an effort to stay away from that cycle. It hasn't been easy, but I think it will improve my emotional well being. It is so easy to get swept up in the never ending news cycle, that you find yourself expecting instant action. Which fuels a feeling that the economy will instantly turn around this week, when reality is that it just doesn't work that way.
I will keep up with the news and current events. But I am planning on avoiding the news blogs and the endless cycle of complaints that accomplish nothing.
