The Apple

We are all intrinsically helpers, born to create healing and change for good. But, although technology brings connection and unity, the dark side is that we see too much. It has become the apple of our existence, bringing pain with the knowledge it holds.

As Author John Eldridge says, “Your soul was never actually meant to know the news of the world. Your brain was not created for omniscience. You’re not meant to know the tragedies of the world.”

We were made to live in small tribes, with small issues. Today, we are connected to 8 billion stories: it’s too much.

So, how can we balance our need to help with our need for quiet?

Turn it off. Agree with yourself to only consume news once per week. You won’t miss anything, the important stories will still be there. But your brain will have time in between to rest from the constant turmoil.

If you get the chance, please check in here and let me know how your mood and life has changed with this simple adjustment.

Love and Light,
