News often makes thing feel very powerful and negative.

From what I saw on some prepper videos, they suggest being prepared for anything then you won’t have to worry as much.

Start a little garden, collect rain water, have a small solar setup, collect can foods, grains, beans, etc.

Try to prepare in ways that help you not worry. Keep low profile too, don’t get attention for your preparations.

While you are preparing for anything, you are distracting yourself from the negative news.
