I was just reading a medical report that revealed that this is the most stressful time in human history. So I started thinking about other times.
The last century had a lot of stress: WWI, Spanish Flu, The Great Depression, WWII, The Atomic Bomb, the '60s with all the assassinations, and Vietnam.
But at least we had The Beatles back then, right?
Now let’s look at this century: 9/11, various financial calamities, Covid, totally crazy politics, and another war. But the main difference today is the constant barrage of 24/7 news! It’s dreadfully awful.
And according to Karen Koffler, M.D., Director of The Integrative Medicine Program at The University of Miami Medical School, news is designed to arouse your sympathetic nervous system and get you wound up with your blood pressure sky-rocketing.
