(841 posts)35. That is why it is sometimes good to limit how much political news you read.
I am not arguing for becoming apathetic but sometimes it is good to do something else other than follow politics. I try to offset my political news consumption with other things like reading books, exercising and watching light entertainment (sitcoms are always good). I recently watched a bunch of Get Smart episodes. I forgot how funny that show was.
I feel like my mind is rested and rejuvenated after I take it easy on the politics for a period of time.
