Bering "dumb" for a day just to know if I could be happier... I feel you.

My way to her happier was too stop following global news, even regional news. People around me well tell me the important things anyway. Don't use the so called "social media"!

With so much free energy and attention, I now care about the areas that I can positively influence: me, close family, neighbors, friends, work, remote family.

That is much more rewarding and makes me happy!
