Speaker 1: Hey, do me a favor. Check out Arrow dot net

conversations and ways to build up our already strong life
or one that's been challenged. Ero dot net a r

reason why is because the fund begins when you start
doing the research, such as are we spending too much
time face planting on our smartphones to catch the latest
news headlines? Plus? How can we ease up a bit
on this news intake? My name is Arrow, I'm a
daily writer, a silent wolf. I stand on the sidelines
and do nothing but watch, listen, study, then activate. I
call it the daily mess, a chronological walk through an
everyday world. Yeah, it's my morning writing as a receiver
of thoughts and ideas. We as people tend to throw
things to the side because we think we're gonna deal
with it later on. Well, when a subject arrives inside
of me, I know it's time to dig in. It's
still keeping that daily journal, but by doing the research,
the picture becomes clearer. This is the daily mess. Now,
I am so guilty of this. Do we spend way
too much time reading news? Headlines. Research based on daily
human behavior clearly identifies the answer is yeah, we do.
Because of smartphone capabilities, we are investing way too much
personal time into doing all we can to keep up
to date with the latest adventures inside the news world.
As one mental expert explains, we are inside an endless
news cycle. It's designed to grab our attention, not to
inform us. Ooh, let me say that again. It's designed
to grab our attention, not to inform. So many feel informed,
but you're really not. It's seen as a distraction. Too
much news creates emotional fatigue. The physical act of repeated
exposure to bad or sensationalized stories plays hell on your
energy while shaping and reshaping our views of the world.
If you aren't feeling fear, there's a good chance you're
feeling negative. We are consuming far too much news these days.
It leads to helplessness as well as burnout. Nobody calls
it a true mental crisis, yet the damage to our
common sense is controlling the way that we act and
react daily. Hey, coming up next, Well, how can we
break this addiction to news headlines? Hey, thanks for coming
back to the daily mess. If we're getting too much
news in our daily diet. What about that feeling of
being far behind when everybody else is way up there
talking about the current events. Many many people see the
latest headlines on smartphones as being valuable. Well, this is
how we stay abreast to local issues, health, and global
events that have a real impact on our personal lives.
One mental health expert encourage us to be more intentional
like this. Number One, check a few trusted news sources
twice a day. That's it. Two times. Do all you
can to stop scrolling. It's too much all at once.
Number two, retrain yourself to get into long form stories
or investigative reports. Quick headlines or clickbait aren't doing anything
positive to your present place of right now. And number three,
learn to balance out your news intake. It's one hundred
percent okay to go directly to positive and creative content.
But that kind of makes me laugh, because I've been
known to say on social media that the only thing
you find on news websites these days are the murders
and the bad news first, and somewhere in the middle
is going to be an opposite effect him Meryl, And
that's the daily mess
