Ignoring election news

Ah, the bliss of tuning out election coverage. The world and its uncle may be addicted to its manufactured and amplified noise. But just switching that mental switch off brings a calm that you feel doubly with the knowledge that others are constantly choosing to get battered by the latest poll numbers, scandalous debates, endless parade of pundits dissecting every candidate's sneeze.... Ignoring election coverage is like stepping onto an island while the sharks are going on their usual ways in the waters below.

There's the sheer joy of 'stealing' time. Instead of being glued to the screen, you're reading a book, taking a walk, or binge-watching that series you've been meaning to catch up on. Your mental health will thank you for your electoral news abstinence.

Then there's the pleasure of focusing on the here and now, not on someone else's there and then. And let's not forget the joy of reduced stress by not being on that rollercoaster of emotions. Instead, you're calm in your own surroundings, free from the relentless cycle of noise-news.


Ignoring election coverage is really an act of self-care. So, unplug from the political frenzy next time the 'circus' comes to town.
