How is it serving us? What emotions does the daily stream of news evoke in us? How does it change us?
Does it make things better?
Some alternatives...
Do work which matters
Make something
Serve someone voluntarily
Learn a new skill
Improve a skill
Learn about something new
Study history
Study geography
Go for a walk
Read
Write
Photograph something from a new angle
And if we absolutely must have some news, try this as a substitute. It might make things better.
