1) Knowledge is only power when applied.

Actively consume information with a specified purpose, while applying discernment and avoiding confirmation bias.

Never passively consume information without a purpose.

2) For example: Stay informed of news to expand your understanding of what is happening around you

From the understanding and information you’ve gleaned from the news, apply it to maintain safety, reinforce preps, and improve relationships.

3) Not only for yourself but for the people you intend to help.

Analyze events in the news and ask how you might deal with them if you were to face them.

After reading all the news you can, apply a SWOT Analysis:

4) Implement a problems focus by understanding all the potential threats you might face and any weaknesses you have which could compromise your ability to deal with them

5) Implement a solutions focus. Ask how you might prep for what is to come, leverage your strengths, and take advantage of all possible opportunities to strategically achieve chosen objectives.

Don’t let yourself be stressed out by the news.

6) Actively work with the information you consume.

Be completely conscious of all the moments when you passively consume information without a purpose and SNAP out of it.

7) Respond to all the news you’ve finished reading by coming up with a list of positive action steps you’ll implement to deal with every problem discussed.

8) Control what you can.

Accept what you can’t. Emotional intelligence practices, mindfulness, yoga, tai chi, meditation, and EFT facilitate this process.
