The Easy Choice Between Panic and Peace

Bad news barrels down on us day after day, and it’s hard not to get hooked. All we see are the panic, madness and chaos that surround us, and we begin to feel unsafe. But we need to look elsewhere. When we focus on the bad, it just adds undue, unapproachable stress to our lives, and we get distracted from the things that matter most: our people, our recovery and our sphere of influence.

Of course it’s a tough balancing act because we all want to be informed. But not at the cost of our happiness. Hazelden author Craig Nakken breaks it down for you in this clever article, giving you his own moral compass for handling chaos and instead choosing a simpler life that’s grounded in spiritual wholeness.
