Five Ways to Stay Positive in a Negative WorldIn view of the increasing negative events happening around the world here are five things you can do to help you stay positive.
1. Take a news sabbatical. Listening to the news can be downright depressing. All bad news all of the time can drag you down and keep you there. Give yourself permission to stop listening to the news, especially before bed time.
2. Use your influence to do good where you live. Shift your focus from what is happening in other parts of the world to your community. Get involved in making a positive change or contribution.
3. Focus on what is working in your life. Choose one thing that you are grateful for and focus on it for the rest of the day.
4. Express your appreciation to others. You can create a positive world one person at a time by saying thank you every chance you get to everyone you interact with ? from the person who holds open a door for you to your child who does a chore to a cherished friend or loved one.
5. Focus on what you can change, let go of what you can't change. When faced with a distressing situation ask yourself if you can control over the events. If you do, change what you can. If you don't, learn to let it go and move on.

Very valuable suggestions.
It is very unfortunate that the world is not that safe to live!
Hey nice suggestions...like the first one...I better stop watching the news...no seriously...i need a break from breaking news...:) see ya sistAaa..
great post .. these are five points that everyone should follow or atleast try to
this is really informative n helpful...good work...thumbs up!
Wonderful piece of work it is for sure...but i'm still confused about one thing, getting ur focus out of the world and whats happening around the world can SURE reduce stresses or depression but it can never reduce the PAIN and SUFFERINGS that people of world are facing day by day...what positive attitude we can extract from the news is that we can LISTEN and then do something about it, if not in a world scale level than atleast in our communities. Inshort Face the REALITY and than think positively on that is my way of approach.
Anyway, quite a mindful presentation...indeed i've learned alot.
I always get depressed seeing the news and the newspapers. But too strong a habit to ignore it. Gr8 five things nonetheless.
