During our 5 minute “Words of Wisdom” schpiel in my Karate class, Sensei X elaborated on how we should keep positivity into our lives and release negativity. On the lines of negativity, he referred to watching news reports and its profound affect on our mental state. He said the addiction to news channels such as CNN or Fox News increases anxiety and can become a roadblock to relaxation and positive thinking.
I honestly believe reading and watching excessive news reports has affected my emetophobia.
I blogged about this last month.
Why Fox News Makes Me Sick

Since breaking my addiction several years ago, I only watch the nightly news selectively and consciously. I never watch those 24 hour news channels. So you’re probably wondering why I have all of those news links on the sidebar. It was recommended that I put them there to generate more traffic to my blog. That’s the truth and I’m sticking to it.
(And if you are reading this Sensei X, then you now know I really was paying attention in class the other night).
