I stopped listening to the news in 2018. It was too much to bear. I find big important news stories find me, I can let go of everything else.
I am off of all socials except Substack. It has done wonders for my sanity too. For me, it's grief and fear that's weighing on me, more than hate. That's what I'm battling every day recently. I try to focus on what I can control, but some days are heavy.
"I am continually amazed at the power of having a daily spiritual practice. Do you have a daily spiritual practice?"
Yoga, meditation, sound bathing, and being present with nature. Also, prayer.
beautiful practices, Corie!! I have many of the same ~

So it's possible!! Good to hear. I hope to cut back social media but I find it so hard since I have to post for my day job on insta -
Grief and fear - that's definitely it!!
Thank you Tricia - so helpful to hear I'm not alone. I haven't read a course in miracles but always hear about it, it might be time to read it!
I am with you. ✨️
You remind me of a passage in A Course in Miracles: "I could see peace instead of this."
Looking forward to your writing circle Tuesday. 🙏Namaste.
Love that quote! It is all a choice.
