I don’t know about you, but it’s hard to go anywhere or talk to anyone without hearing lots of bad news. The kind of bad news, as with the financial crisis, that can adversely affect our health.

The question gets to be, exactly how much should we pay attention and dwell on what we’re hearing? And when we do, how exactly should we respond? What can we do to minimize the impact on our health?

Personally, I’m all for having a news blackout and limiting my exposure. Listen to this week’s audio tip and I’ll tell you more about why I think we should distance ourselves and what happens to our health when we don’t.

What do you think? Have you been unable to stop listening to the news this week? Can you see a link to your health? How might instituting a temporary news blackout help you? Share your thoughts below.
