I Want to Be Positive About Life

[b]Unplugging from the Outrage Machine: An Update[/b]

I finally managed to get through 24 hours without talking back to any political content I saw on social media. Yesterday. So it took me six days of being aware of what I was reading and watching, and then catching myself.

Six days to let go of it. That’s how plugged in people get. 🤔

UPDATE:
I had a slip today. So I was two days “sober” from the outrage machine. Back to step one.

UPDATE (Feb. 16, 2020)
I have four days clean so far. I got through today’s first check of social media without responding to anything stupid or crazy.

UPDATE (Feb. 20, 2020)
I slipped again. This is hard!

I’m proud of you! A while ago I learned how useless it is so quit myself.

It takes a while to get out of your system, like a 12 step program, but it is worth it.
