“…What’s the solution to news fatigue? Well, it’s not avoidance. A democracy depends on informed citizens.

Many adults already cite the spread of misleading information as a major source of stress. Withdrawing from accurate, trustworthy information only deepens the problem. We’re wired to pay more attention to bad news, and that kind of content will find its way to us one way or another.

The fix is to manage the consumption and the sources.”

News fatigue is not a personal failing, but a result of an evolutionary brain being asked to process a large volume of bad news from around the world.

PSA: please be sure to take care of yourself in the heat, before trouble arises. It will help immensely to remember to drink 8 ounces of water every 20 minutes if you’re outside in this weather, and pay attention to your electrolytes as well.

The older we become, the more susceptible we are to these issues, and we mostly don’t realize we are in danger until the symptoms manifest themselves. Take good care of your precious selves!
