      5 [2]Meat-Ax Your News Consumption

      7 Grant me the serenity to ignore the things I cannot change.

     11 As someone who lives in a democracy (for now), I believe it is both good and
     12 important to be an informed citizen. However, in Donald Trump’s first term as
     13 America’s commander in chief, I was unnecessarily tuned in to each and every
     14 horrid aspect of his presidency. I don’t intend to repeat that mistake when we
     15 take this wretched ride for a second time.
     16 
     17 During my [3]recent respite, I made a conscious effort to scale back just how
     18 much awfulness I let into my life. I deleted a few redundant RSS feeds from my
     19 reader and reduced the quantity of news I read, as well as the frequency with
     20 which I read it. Just as I had previously [4]meat-axed my notifications, I’ve
     21 now meat-axed my news consumption.
     22 
     23 I’m fortunate that my own day-to-day life does not actually need to be so
     24 negatively impacted by Trump’s every offense. Perhaps yours needn’t be either.
     25 It is no doubt a fine line, but it should be possible to stay aware of what’s
     26 happening without being consumed by the relentless malfeasance over which we
     27 have no control.
     28 
     29 I urge you to consider how you can do that for yourself. Your mental health is
     30 worth it.
