Also,

From The Imitation of Christ, Chapter XX in the Bishop Challoner translation:

Let curiosities alone.

Read such matters as may rather move thee to compunction than give thee occupation [worry].

If thou wilt withdraw thyself from superfluous talk and idle visits, as also from giving ear to news and to reports, thou wilt find time sufficient and proper to employ thyself to good meditations.

In all honesty I must add that I follow none of the above advice myself. I spend a couple of hours a day average either listening to news on the radio, reading it on the 'net or talking about it with friends and coworkers.

Predictably, I am often anxious and worried, in disobedience to Christ's admonition that we should not be afraid of them that kill the body... because the very hairs of [our] heads are all numbered. (Luke 12,7.)
