How do you cope with bad news?

I wake up to the news on more shootings, January 6th hearings, the Dow dropping 800 points and extreme weather events throughout the country. I have almost become immune to these stories, which I never want to be, but I just can't let them rule my life. I have chosen to filter out what I watch. What do you all do to keep sane and in good spirits?

I do the best I can. I used to be a news junkie. It was stressing me out, and I'd had enough. Last year, I weaned myself off. I figure if the world is gonna end, I'll get wind of it. Now I read and listen to global news radio occasionally. These days "good spirits" come in a bottle 🍾, and there's always Casper. 👻

I try to stay informed and that’s it. I can’t watch the news. I watch movies or tv shows that bring me joy also watch animal videos or read. I can’t feed my brain the negativity which leads to more depression and anxiety for me. I make an intention habit of not letting my mind dwell on the horrific current events.
