Someone told me there was a partial government shutdown. It had been going on for two weeks and I DID NOT KNOW!
I took it as a solid positive sign that I had been controlling my attention well!
Do you tune out the noise that is none of your business?
Yes all of the time. Is this a personality flaw? I feel like I need to focus on my goals but sometimes lose sight of what’s going on around me.
I was aware. I think everyone should be. Whether you are on one side of the debate or the other, it’s everyone’s business to be aware, educated and informed about the workings of our elected officials so that that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
Same thing happened to me. I have enjoyed a news blackout for about a year now. What a blessing.
