1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,240 Speaker 1: Hey, do me a favor. Check out Arrow dot net 2 00:00:02,319 --> 00:00:05,639 a r r oe dot net. It's more than interviews, 3 00:00:05,719 --> 00:00:09,199 conversations and ways to build up our already strong life 4 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,599 or one that's been challenged. Ero dot net a r 5 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:17,079 r oe dot net. I'm always asking questions. Well, the 6 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:18,920 reason why is because the fund begins when you start 7 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:22,440 doing the research, such as are we spending too much 8 00:00:22,519 --> 00:00:25,839 time face planting on our smartphones to catch the latest 9 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,839 news headlines? Plus? How can we ease up a bit 10 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,000 on this news intake? My name is Arrow, I'm a 11 00:00:33,079 --> 00:00:36,079 daily writer, a silent wolf. I stand on the sidelines 12 00:00:36,079 --> 00:00:39,359 and do nothing but watch, listen, study, then activate. I 13 00:00:39,439 --> 00:00:42,280 call it the daily mess, a chronological walk through an 14 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,320 everyday world. Yeah, it's my morning writing as a receiver 15 00:00:45,399 --> 00:00:47,840 of thoughts and ideas. We as people tend to throw 16 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,200 things to the side because we think we're gonna deal 17 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,560 with it later on. Well, when a subject arrives inside 18 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,640 of me, I know it's time to dig in. It's 19 00:00:57,679 --> 00:01:00,840 still keeping that daily journal, but by doing the research, 20 00:01:01,159 --> 00:01:04,799 the picture becomes clearer. This is the daily mess. Now, 21 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,680 I am so guilty of this. Do we spend way 22 00:01:08,719 --> 00:01:13,680 too much time reading news? Headlines. Research based on daily 23 00:01:13,719 --> 00:01:18,680 human behavior clearly identifies the answer is yeah, we do. 24 00:01:19,439 --> 00:01:23,280 Because of smartphone capabilities, we are investing way too much 25 00:01:23,359 --> 00:01:26,599 personal time into doing all we can to keep up 26 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,400 to date with the latest adventures inside the news world. 27 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:35,000 As one mental expert explains, we are inside an endless 28 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:39,840 news cycle. It's designed to grab our attention, not to 29 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:44,000 inform us. Ooh, let me say that again. It's designed 30 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:49,840 to grab our attention, not to inform. So many feel informed, 31 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:54,640 but you're really not. It's seen as a distraction. Too 32 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,879 much news creates emotional fatigue. The physical act of repeated 33 00:01:58,959 --> 00:02:03,480 exposure to bad or sensationalized stories plays hell on your 34 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,560 energy while shaping and reshaping our views of the world. 35 00:02:07,799 --> 00:02:10,759 If you aren't feeling fear, there's a good chance you're 36 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:15,639 feeling negative. We are consuming far too much news these days. 37 00:02:15,879 --> 00:02:20,520 It leads to helplessness as well as burnout. Nobody calls 38 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,520 it a true mental crisis, yet the damage to our 39 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,879 common sense is controlling the way that we act and 40 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:31,199 react daily. Hey, coming up next, Well, how can we 41 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:36,000 break this addiction to news headlines? Hey, thanks for coming 42 00:02:36,039 --> 00:02:38,800 back to the daily mess. If we're getting too much 43 00:02:38,879 --> 00:02:42,039 news in our daily diet. What about that feeling of 44 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,800 being far behind when everybody else is way up there 45 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:50,120 talking about the current events. Many many people see the 46 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,639 latest headlines on smartphones as being valuable. Well, this is 47 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,240 how we stay abreast to local issues, health, and global 48 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,960 events that have a real impact on our personal lives. 49 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,919 One mental health expert encourage us to be more intentional 50 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,879 like this. Number One, check a few trusted news sources 51 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,120 twice a day. That's it. Two times. Do all you 52 00:03:12,199 --> 00:03:16,159 can to stop scrolling. It's too much all at once. 53 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:21,919 Number two, retrain yourself to get into long form stories 54 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:26,719 or investigative reports. Quick headlines or clickbait aren't doing anything 55 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,240 positive to your present place of right now. And number three, 56 00:03:30,759 --> 00:03:35,000 learn to balance out your news intake. It's one hundred 57 00:03:35,039 --> 00:03:38,639 percent okay to go directly to positive and creative content. 58 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,280 But that kind of makes me laugh, because I've been 59 00:03:41,319 --> 00:03:43,680 known to say on social media that the only thing 60 00:03:43,719 --> 00:03:47,159 you find on news websites these days are the murders 61 00:03:47,199 --> 00:03:49,759 and the bad news first, and somewhere in the middle 62 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,840 is going to be an opposite effect him Meryl, And 63 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,199 that's the daily mess
