Create over Consume

Making a decision to limit or cease consuming news is not the equivalent of being disengaged or ignoring reality. Constant exposure to contradictory opinions can be overwhelming, and stepping back is a healthy choice that allows individuals to focus on activities that create positive change. Creation can counter consumption. Generosity is the opposite of constant consumer behavior, and when my consumption generates more anger, anxiety, and fear, it is time to stop.

Reflection Question:

How does the content you consume influence your emotions, and what changes might help you cultivate more peace and purpose in your daily life?
