We expose ourselves to too much news and information which causes too much stress. Most news is opinion
anyways.
I think it’s usually emotional based people who are prone to hysteria who gets the stress, else people are selective about it and can moderate their news dose.
Only when one is obliged to expose one self to higher amount of news than good is, one gets stress, it’s not different than work, where work aholics gets stress.
Watching I Love Lucy videos is just the cure if you feel overstressed.
I constantly keep up with news and it has never once caused me stress.
The problem is when one cares about news. Treat it all as stated facts that can be proved or disproved with no emotional attachment.
Something isn’t healthy? Try to avoid it.
Tsunami and earthquake in Japan? Oh well, stuff happens.
