We try to ignore the media, try to ignore the fads, try to ignore bias, and try to research from reliable sources. This last is not so easy to do as even the "best" sources really have to be checked and double checked, very often a heavily quoted study is actually being misquoted. We've learned to read for ourselves. It takes a little work.
Then we just get back to living.
Mostly, and more importantly for us, we just try to stay focused on the moment at hand. Practice, practice, practice. We are very fortunate in that we've always tried to live that way, though we'll probably never master it.
Thank you for being here
