Why You Shouldn't Consume News on Your Spiritual Development Journey

When you start to expand your intuition one of the things I highly recommend is that you stop watching or consuming news.

Yes even on social media.

This usually gets me into a spot of trouble but there's a good reason why I recommend this.

For one,  it's an undue stress and anxiety that you place in your life for no reason at the end of the day. The news focuses on keeping people in a state of fear. If you are working on expanding your intuitive abilities that last thing you need is for a propagandic system to be working against you and instilling more fear and distrust in yourself into you while you are trying to learn to trust yourself again.

It's counterproductive and will end up setting you back.

For another, it also doesn't help you to gain validation for yourself when you start getting psychic impressions from your environment.

Did you know the storm was coming because the weather man told you or because your intuition did?

Did you feel sick yesterday afternoon when there was a shooting downtown because you saw the footage on facebook or because you energetically picked up on that tragic energy?

You don't know.

For those of you that are accustomed to a daily ritual that involves looking at a news source of some sort this might be a bit more challenging.

But I promise you that once you get in the habit of ignoring the news anchors and trusting that inner knowing inside you you will find a certain level of peace that you won't want to trade up. 

And you'll recognise much easier when fear is compiling naturally within yourself vs. when fear is compiling in and on you from outside sources.

So drop the news and the distractions and instead utilise that time for more productive things such as journalling...spirit study...or spending time away from technology in the moment with the people and animals that matter most.
