This is Hello Freedom and I'm your host Terry Cole.

For almost two decades I've been a licensed psychotherapist and transformation coach.

And on this show, I will bring you simple strategies

based on practical psychology, inspiring expert interviews,

and my own insights and observations

from my time on the front lines of the fascinating worlds of

entertainment, impairment, and mental health. Now let's get going with today's

episode.

Well hello and welcome to this week's episode where I want to start with a

question. Do you feel overwhelmed with the hostility that is out there in the news that is pervasive

on every social media outlet, every newscast that you watch, even if you try to avoid it.

Is it negatively impacting you?

Do not at your head.

Let me just tell you, you are not alone.

So many of the women in my course right now in groups of mine are just saying they feel overwhelmed

with the negativity and being torn between how do I stay actively engaged and not allow what's going on to totally bring me down and completely bum me out.

So I have some ideas for you if this is impacting you

because it's impacting me as well. Now let's start with the way that you

consume your information, your news.

My two cents on that is less is more.

So if you're watching the 24-hour news cycle, I'm going to say please stop right now.

It is 100% unnecessary. You can stay informed. I read my news so that I have a choice to stop when I've read enough.
