I visit a local 7-11 to buy my daily Baltimore Sun, USA Today, and sometimes The Washington Post or the New York Post. I read out of town papers as well as the local ones since I used to deliver them as a child. Anyway, the guy who is the owner of this particular 7-11 is Muslim and he and his staff are always very cordial. This particular day he asked me if he could ask me something. He said “Brother, why do you purchase all that stress every day?” I did not catch what he was saying at first. He went on to explain about of the negative news that is always on the front page of the papers. I never looked at it like that. I am hopelessly set in my ways about reading the news but he made a very good point. I listen to a lot of music and I would encourage listening to a lot of jazz, not smooth jazz but real jazz such as Coltrane, Miles, Monk, Armstrong, Ella, Dinah and the other greats who once you tune in to them, it is a great stress reliever and can open your mind.

Passionate comments are welcome here, Willow. No need to apologize. I’m on my way to cleaning up my diet as well.

If you really want to unplug then you must change your diet! The amount of chemicals and bad sugars in most food today is drugging us and we don’t even realise it. Please do some research, look up Aspartme, sodiul laureal sulphate, MSG,(to name only 3 out of thousands) then you will fully undrstand how much danger as a society we are in.
Go organic, detox yourself, eat fruit and veg, nuts and grains, not oly will you fell better, your mind will be clearer.
You can’t heal the mind without healing the body.
sorry for the stregth of this post, but I understand where you are comming from totally, and just wanted to share my views.
Thanks

First step - turn off the television. If you must watch “unAmerican” tv tune into BBC and CSPAN.

Awesome stuff! I agree. I teach sabbath school at my church, and I am pullling together a lesson that has been on my heart for the past year now using the intrinsic themes found in the matrix.

I tell if you want to hide something (especially the truth)…hide it in plain sight!

yah know the more I read about the Young Clergy the more impressed I am not only with its members but the organization as a whole.
Several years ago I put a stop to television watching. Occasionally I watch nature show. I do watch PBS Sprout with my daughter. Great Content! Excellent values!
I like your list.
