There are times when you are reading or watching the regular news stories that you start thinking there is no positive news around to report. Sometimes there's a human interest story or two but it mostly seems like everything happening around you, locally as well as elsewhere in the world, is scary and depressing.
It's possible to choose, however, to step away from the negativity. This can be an important choice for better mental, physical and spiritual health. Information that is focused on the negative can have effects you do not realize.
One thing that is makes the situation worse is that lots of people watch these types of shows on the television immediately before bedtime. This allows the negativity to enter into the subconscious so that it can influence thoughts and dreams, potentially affecting the quality of one's sleep. In some cases, it can keep the person from sleeping properly at all.
While negative information can increase your stress and depression, affecting your very health, uplifting stories can do the opposite. When you smile, it automatically makes you start feeling better. And, when you focus on information that is optimistic and up beat, it has a way of making you smile, even despite your mood.
Stories like these can be found in all categories such as financial, health, business and a lot more. Any information can be disseminated in a way that helps you to focus on the steps you can take for improving your life as opposed to letting you focus on the things that are wrong.
You may not want to completely ignore the standard media offerings. But that's no reason not to spend at least some time each day reviewing some of the positive news that's going on in the world. It can be a great way to set the tone for the day as well as for a good night's sleep.
