[EXCERPT] Unplug from the news cycle.
If you feel like there’s more bad news than good news lately, you’re probably right. But not because the world is any more unsettled than it was during, say, the Great Depression, World War II, or even after 9/11. There are just so many more ways for us to consume news these days. And several studies have found that negative headlines and news stories grab and hold consumers’ attention longer than positive ones. It’s in the media companies’ best interests to pump up the negativity: more bad news means more viewers, readers, clicks, ad sales, and profits.
We could all use a little less screen time in our lives. But if you’re trying to be more grateful, unplugging more often could help you turn down the negativity and be more attuned to the positive.
