I avoid the news, if it's important one of my friends or family will tell me. Also, if something is going on but isn't actionable (I can't do anything about it) I try not to let it occupy much of my headspace.

That's probably the healthier approach.

Exactly. Do what you can when you can. Everyone needs a hand sometimes. Be that for the people around you. Even if you can't agree on everything.
