Even the news, on almost any basis, on any platform - is toxic full-stop. Much of it is AI-curated on the basis of at-best conflict/drama, at-worst - fear/trepidation. I gave it up years ago. It adds nothing, & extracts much.

I'm so with you on this. I took a step back recently and reassessed what I really wanted, and removed some of the 'unnecessary' stressors in my life. It's a work in progress, but seems to be helping. Sometimes you don't recognise exactly what's happening, because you're so caught up in it. A week of silence sounds like a good place to start. I might try it!

That's awesome! You inspired me to try this and I was able to catch up on my reading list. I told a friend about it too and she said she stopped listening to music while she worked out and she was able to correct her form while deadlifting. It's so fascinating the things we notice when we're not distracted. It ended up becoming a full lifestyle change. Thanks so much for sharing😄
