HAVE YOU MADE PLANS FOR THE ANNUAL PICNIC YET?   Website     Get Involved     Elections     About     Blog     Contact August 2nd, 2017 (Happy Birthday, Ben!)  Greetings! Okay, right now, take this quick quiz: 1) Do you watch more than one hour of MSNBC/Nightly News a night? 2) Do you spend a 1/2 hour or more a week arguing on social media with someone whose opinions you know you can't change? 3) Do you click on more than one link in your yahoo/google/ Facebook newsfeed that speaks of some kind of disaster, political or otherwise? 4) Do you find yourself retelling stories about ill-treatment by or the ridiculous behavior of a public figure several times during your day? If you answered yes to anyone of these questions, you might be on the BAD NEWS DIET and its effects are pretty dangerous to your health and to the health of the world you are working so hard to improve. BAD NEWS FOR YOU: Continuous exposure to "bad news"--whether it be the news-like conjurings of Rupert Murdock or actual sad news about something happening in the world--causes several things to happen to the human person: 1) It raises the cortisols in your system (previous used only to run away from a bear or fight a duel) and this, ultimately, burns out your adrenal system and makes you sick. 2) It puts a strain on your relationships with people who aren't  on this same diet and can create new pockets of loneliness in your world at a time where connection is more important than ever. 3) It saps away the vital energy you need to do that important work (and this is where those who are making you life harder REALLY WIN!). BAD NEWS FOR YOUR WORLD: 1)  Over time, constant exposure to and conversation about how messed up the our country/the world is erodes your ability to feel that you can actually do anything about this hot mess.  2) It also cuts down on your empathy over all which is certain recipe for a species and planet to decline. 3) It hurts our collective collaborations on domestic and global solutions when folks bond mostly over what is wrong.  BUT THE GOOD NEWS DIET CAN DO THIS!! MAKE YOUR LIFE A GREATER PLEASURE EVERYDAY RECONNECT YOU TO YOUR OWN SOURCE OF JOY BY CONNECTING TO OTHERS IN A GENTLER WAY START TO RAISE THE VIBRATION OF THE WORLD YOU ARE CREATING WHICH RAISES THE VIBRATION OF THE PLANET ATTRACT MORE PEOPLE TO VOTE ON POLICIES WHICH ARE IN THEIR (AND YOUR) BEST INTEREST.
