How Does World News Affect You? / myLot

I have been up early this morning enjoying the quiet ... well, not exactly the quiet. I am always listening to the World News. I wonder how many people are addicted (not really addictive but, have to stay tuned in) to the news? Skip and I are ... we constantly monitor the news. I really feel one needs to be up on what's happening in our world at all times, especially in today's time. Then again ... maybe we should stick our heads in the sand and just be peaceful not knowing what's going on. What do you think? I find it to cause anxiety ... my heart will feel as if I am scared and flutter. I try to stay away from the news for a time ... but, I can't. So much is going on and there are 'too many firsts' happening now. In my time ... I've never seen such. I do worry at times ... I had double bypass heart surgery on April 26, 2019. I did have an issue with heart rhythm ... and when I feel anxiety, I worry it could be that again, not know it. How many of you watch the news like this ... and does it affect you in any way? No one has to tell me to not watching the news ... I take breaks from it ... but, I will always watch it.

It is good that you can do that ... I do that, also. I keep following up constantly to see what changes. I think what bothers ME are the untrue things ... unfair things I see each day.

I have enough worries and being on my own I don't watch the news at all but instead read a bit of what is happening on the Internet.

I keep up with the news daily. A lot of it angers me.

I watch the news, not only those of my country, but those of other European countries and the United States. I think it is important to be updated.

@GrannyGee I go online to check out two news places here in Israel. They also talk about world news. To me it is very important that I know what is going on here and around the world.

Try to be not so affected with the news. Let us always trust God and be hopeful of good news.

I like to catch up on the news and even watch NBC Nightly News on YouTube. Try not to dwell on it, the world can be really screwed up at times
