Good news?

November 14th, 2008 by Jayne Cox

The world seems to be feeling very unconfident at present. It’s as if there’s been a massive intake of breath and no one wants to breath out. That can be very frightening.

For months and months we’ve been bombarded with ‘bad news’, before anything even happens we are warned, prepared and then left in fear. So what can any of us do?

Well for one we can limit our exposure, it’s like a virus and it is spread by contact. The means of spreading this virus is the airwaves, sound coming from the TV and the radio. It’s powerful stuff, let’s face it if it can sell us some new brand of washing powder it can certainly sell fear! Then there’s the negative person, all doom and gloom. They love to tell us all the world’s woes, so perhaps we can be busy next time they call to meet up?

Finally the newspaper, perhaps we can walk past the newsstand, pick up a nice magazine instead of the newspaper at the newsagent, or just buy a Sunday paper instead. Limit the exposure to ‘bad news’.

And when it all seems too much remember what you have, what you love and how life has provided an abundance. Focus on the good and let the bad move from your focus.

Remember it will all pass and the sun will come out.
