The ratio of our exposure to bad news far outweighs good news. When you hear bad news, you feel low. Whereas, when you hear good news you feel happy. However, it is hard to shut yourself off from all the bad news. It is everywhere – TV screens; on your phone; laptop; via Whatsapp messages; emails, and in almost every newspaper you read.
How do you mitigate this low feeling? Start your morning with meditation and reading uplifting literature – Rumi, Khalil Gibran, Dr. Stephen Covey are good examples. This starts your morning on a positive note. Avoid bad news as much as possible, especially early in the morning. However, if you do end up being exposed to bad news, which is often inevitable, react by counting your blessings.
Start your morning with meditation and reading uplifting literature and expressing gratitude!
