I get where you're coming from. It can feel overwhelming when you see all the chaos in the world and realize it doesn’t really affect your day-to-day life. Focusing on what you can control, your own well-being, family, and friends is definitely a healthier approach.  Less media, less stress! Keeping your energy for what truly matters is the solid plan. At the end of the day, we all have our own challenges to deal with, and sometimes it’s best to just focus on those.
The manner in which global issues is becoming interconnected is really hard to ignore. Everything is obviously linked, from the world’s economy to wars, and it all influences our lives in one way or another. Even if you try to focus on your own problems, we still feel the ripple effects of these issues.
