One of the reasons I was not posting for a while was I was not feeling great mentally and did not think I could post something without being negative. I have been in a crappy mood, and it was hard to be motivated.
One of the reasons was that I was not careful with my media diet. I have also been a big follower of the news my whole life, but lately, I consumed a lot of rage bait. I was getting angry, sad and worked up over things that I had little influence over, often had little influence on me.
Therefore my plan for August is to be very careful with what I consume. I deleted Twitter, Facebook and Reddit from my phone. I am going to stop listening to polemical podcasts. I will still consume news, but I will avoid anything that is rage bait. I will see if this helps.
What are you feeding your mind, and do you need a detox?
