Take a day of R&R... turn off the media outlet boxes for a spell and reconnect with what makes you feel good and fulfilled.
Call an old friend and ask how they are doing, practice an instrument, run for an hour or two, or volunteer at a community center; that's how I reconnect with what's really real, and a time when I finally perceive what is and what's not media spin. Nearly all of it is, so I re-compensate by examining it on my own whenever I am given the opportunity to do so.
