I quit watching the morning news when the impeachment trial was going on. I found myself getting so anxious and upset.

I too stopped watching the news long before the pandemic and all other 2020 “stuff”! I noticed it making me sad and dragging me down. I do much better now just checking news highlights and I follow MomCast on IG too. She hits the highlights and then I can dig deeper if it’s something I really feel I need to know. Keeps me in a much better frame of mind. My kids are all 17 and older and now I have grandkids. Totally agree about it being inappropriate for the littles to hear.

I love your thoughts about the news so much! I have 4 children, from age 9 to 17 and we stopped watching the news around our kids MANY years ago! It’s not healthy!

I totally agree! Our littles are sponges right now and soak up everything they hear! I cannot control everything, but I can control what they listen to in our home!

We have been off the news for a long time now! My mom had to tell me we had a hurricane coming! Like you, the negativity in the world is just not bearable and I hate that my children were listening to it. Take care and have a blessed day!

I’ve never liked watching the news!! I’m so happy we’re not the only ones! We hardly watch it now. I think my hub prefers to read the news, or he reads it, because he knows I’ll complain and whine while it’s on tv. I’m the worst! Hahaha!. For about a year, our you tube tv was set up to a Denver zip code so my husband wouldn’t miss the Bronco game. (They’ve caught on to us since) but for a year, any news I did see, wasn’t even relevant to the metroplex. That was the worse. Especially weather news! Seeing snow and road closures when it is hot Texas weather was so confusing to my brain!! Lol

Howdy! We’ve stopped the news too! At least during the day when the kiddos are around. I agree on being informed and up to date on issues but I agree more with guarding our hearts and mind! Thanks for being a light!

I stopped watching the news too because of all the negativity so I totally agree. Instead I spend my morning listening to worship music…..so much better!

Thanks for sharing your reassuring words of wisdom today! NOT watching isn’t weakness; it’s personal strength in making the better choice for yourself and I choose NO to the news right now as well!

Taking breaks for mental health is essential! Thanks for sharing the verse. It’s easy to focus on the people around us, but that verse shows us very clearly that God wants us to care for ourselves as well. Love you and your family and the positive impact that you have on the people around you!
