My Major News Addiction and How I Cured It

Addiction comes in many forms. Whether it's the news or something more traditional like smoking, the effects are very much the same. The habits take up our time, hijack the wiring in our brains, and they cost a lot of money. But most importantly, they are avoidance devices — they help us avoid the here and now, and ourselves.

Whatever we're feeling goes away when we give into addiction. It's the easy out from spending quality time with ourselves. But over time, the addiction becomes a crutch that makes us miserable. With news, we skew our perception of the world to be more dangerous and scary than it really is. Most of it is negative, not useful, and forgotten about by the next day

In this YouTube video, I talk about my own experience as a news junky, what I did about it, and how we can all consume the news more mindfully so that it brings us more peace and purpose in our lives.
