I have to stop watching the news.

Here I am once again tuning into the news to see that the world is a dangerous place. It is either covid 19, police shootings, or riots that will be reminding me that the world is a scary place. My anxiety starts to rise and my mind plays the “what if” game. What if I leave the house and anything happens. My imagination likes to run wild. I brave the world to buy the much needed groceries and pet food. While out, I am exposed to a peaceful world where people are just trying to make the best of our current situation. My anxiety disappears, and I am left wondering why do I watch the news?
