Go on a News Diet!

If you limit your exposure to news (on TV, radio, social media or newspapers) to no more than two short check-ins per day, you will feel much better. The media’s job is to provide wall-to-wall coverage. We can be up to date with everything we need to know — and distance ourselves from the intensity of the incessant coverage — by limiting our exposure to a bare minimum.

Ask yourself this simple question:

“Where are the gifts?” Whenever you consider this question you can find answers. See how many ways you answer it as you continue to ask it day by day.

Practice Gratitude

No matter what is happening, there are always things for which to be grateful.

Create a daily practice of thinking about, and writing down, 3 or more things for which you are grateful. They can be tiny things and still significant. There is affirming scientific evidence of the power of a gratitude practice to positively impact both physical and mental health. (You can find details about that in my book, in the chapter about gratitude.)

You might start or end your day with a focus on gratitude, or keep a journal handy to note things as you think of them. And, for each entry, take a moment to savor what you noted. Breath in the gratitude as you think about why it’s meaningful to you. And the cherry on top? Finish each entry with a small smile.
