Despite what society suggests, you're not obligated to stay up-to-date on daily news.
Being in the loop won’t solve your perceived lack of control.
Just because news is available doesn’t mean you must consume it.
Your real responsibility to you and those around you is keeping a clear head and a healthy mind. Don’t let the endless stream of information wear you down.
Society often equates news awareness with caring about issues, but you’re more capable of making an impact if you’re not drowning in despair.
Take care of yourself first.
Then, focus on what you can actually influence.
The only thing you need to grasp is the big-picture flow of events. Don't get lost in ever changing details. Don’t waste your mental health and possible impact scrolling through a relentless flood of noise.
Put your energy into what builds, strengthens, and moves things forward.
