Stop Watching 'CNN'

This is NOT a political post. This is NOT about the cable news network owned by Turner Broadcasting.

This is a post about watching any news, no matter the source.

I once had the pleasure of listening to Lou Holtz, the legendary coach and analyst, speak. In his list of things to do to maximize success he said, “Stop watching CNN.” At first I thought, “Wow, that’s a strong political statement.”

Then he went on to explain that he wasn’t talking about the news station, he was talking about all news sources that only broadcast "CNN"—Constantly Negative News.

He’s right.

It’s impossible to have a positive mind when it’s filled with negative garbage. We all know the news is just negative garbage—tariffs, politics, taxes, murders and so much more negative garbage. Just stop watching it. Just stop putting it in your mind.

Just think about all the negative news you have worried about over the years. Did any of your worry really matter? Worrying cannot control your world.

You know you need a positive mind to drive positive outcomes in your life.

You know negative garbage can turn the most positive mind negative.

You know you just need to stop watching CNN.
