Media Talk - Politics, Weather, A Dead Princess, and Notes

I watch on one of the morning news shows the latest report on money - how much, how much more, who from, who can give, who can't give, they are talking about Hillary Clinton and the race for the democratic presidential nomination. Then I see the ads for the Michael Moore movie Sicko and I read how parents who are concerned about the levels of violence in television and movies are trying to influence a change to protect their children from intrusive images.

Latter clips from the concert for the late Princess Diana are showing her two son's trying to honor their mother while millions and millions of people still mourn her death of ten years ago. Another morning show commercial features a model giving the history of laxatives and encourage people to buy the latest modern market drug to take care of an "age old" problem. Before I can even begin to relate to all of the myriad messages coming through - the weather man informs everyone that Phoenix, Arizona could reach a high of 117 degrees this week.

All of this barrage of information in just a few minutes. I make a note to filter out more and take in less. And yet media, information, communications is my business. How does all this "pop culture" relate to my own life? Do I still grieve for Princess Dianna? - no ... Do I care who makes the nomination for president of the United States?- I should ... Do I need to know what goes on in the health care system? - probably ... the only word that comes to mind is the need for balance. Perhaps balance in my life as to what is truly important for me to know, to integrate, to file away or to ignore.

I think the final conclusion is a conscious decision for how I spend my own time and energy. I make additional notes to set priorities on a daily basis, keep a more consistent journal, and take time each day to clear out from my spirit any and all unwanted and unnecessary energies. Usually, when I do this little routine, I immediately notice a huge difference in the quality of my life. How do you handle the information, electronic, and media driven world? What if any is your choice for balance? Where do you draw the line?
