“News is only the first rough draft of history.” — Alan Barth

Try A No News Day —
How often do you check the news? The stories we tune into feed our consciousness in seen and unseen ways. They are our windows of possibility, offering shining examples of ways of being and doing in this world, with varying commentary on the state of our times. Modern devices make it possible to stay up-to-date on news by the minute. Where a striking story once emerged hot-off-the-press once a day or week or month, we can now tune into the latest happenings and controversies in real-time. Instead, today, turn your eyes towards news closer to home. Amplify a family member’s kindness, celebrate a friend or colleague’s accomplishment, or simply check-in with the “news” in your own life. What is important to you? How is your journey evolving? What can you do to make a loved one’s day? Take time to reflect on how your values are writing your own history — and use that as a lens through which to interact with the world.
