Stop listening to bad news often.

Summary

The speaker argues that frequent exposure to bad news can affect mood and perception. Because people are influenced by what they watch and hear, continually focusing on violence and other distressing stories may increase fear or anxiety and make the world seem more dangerous than it is.

The speaker also suggests that some news coverage emphasizes negative events, which can leave people afraid to go out.

Suggested Strategies

• Cut down on watching or listening to bad news.
• Be selective about what you watch and hear, and avoid conversations that dwell on negative events.
• Protect yourself from repeated exposure to content that may increase fear or anxiety.
