Are you consuming the news, or is the news consuming you?

While it's certainly important to be informed, there's a line in the sand between being adequately informed and over-informed. For many of us, regularly crossing that line leads to negative health and wellness effects.

On today's show: how to protect your headspace while also staying informed.

Here's a preview:

[3:00] 5 reasons why it's so darn easy to get caught up in the news cycle

[15:00] Headline stress disorder's effect of excessive new consumption on our physical and mental health

[18:00] The dopamine loop: 2 reasons why overconsumption of stuff is similar to overconsumption of news

[27:00] 3 tips and a final word
