Todays Stress Caused By The News
I would like to talk for a minute about the recession. The news is really the driving force behind the recession. Imagine that no-one in the US was aware of the recession. Everyone would still be shopping and spending money, right?
If everyone is still spending money and nothing has changed, guess what? That’s right, no recession. The news scares us into thinking that there is no money. Just think about this for a minute… Where did the money go then? It is still there, the only difference is that the people that have it are now hanging on to it. They are afraid to spend it because of what they say in the news.
All of this puts a HUGE stress on the people, especially the lower to middle class. If the News was talking about the abundance of money out there most people would start spending it.
The News also affects us with shootings, car accidents, war, scandals etc…
All of this negativity affects our stress levels on a daily basis. We begin to think that the world is falling apart so why should we give a crap.
I brought my Grandson (who is now three) to his Dr. appointment for his checkup and one of the comments the Doctor made was to not let my Grandson watch the news. The news puts a huge negative impact on a developing mind.
My point here is that if you want to overcome stress and anxiety you need to make some changes in your life. Why not make changes that help everyone in your household.
Keep Moving Forward!
