I love this post Missy. What does it say about the nature of the media we consume?

I would think the same thing. We are our surroundings just as we are our thoughts. If you watch the news and read the paper daily I am quite sure you will be effected by the negativity in it. That’s what sells, no? I’ve always been a strong believer in balance and try to live that.

Not to say that there is harm in feeling those emotions, hurt, anger, sorrow…as we wouldn’t have them if they weren’t natural. It’s finding the balance that is key so that one can get beyond those emotions and not allow them to dictate a permanent negative existence.

If we get stuck in that mindset of negativity that is what I believe attributes to most cases of depression. Music, television, books, papers, video games, people…if one is constantly surrounded by an atmosphere of negativity it would certainly make it harder to find positives. That is why I try to surround myself with joy and weed the negative thoughts which would feed a miserable existence.

As Buddha states, “All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him.”

how do we feed one side?

Quite simply by not feeding the other. When a negative thought enters your mind, wish it away and leave in it’s place a positive affirmation about your self or situation or anything really.

It can be as simple as making a list of the things you are grateful for. That can be a start to a positive mood…go for a walk in the sun, put on a happy tune and dance…call someone you know is funny…I find laughter to be the best medicine.

I like :D knew I would before I even got here. Someone once asked me here where I got such wisdom, turned out I had a lot to say. So I ask you- where does your wisdom come from?

Well thanks my friend! Hmm…it’s hard to put into words.

I’ll keep it simple, from that which created me and set forth in motion the events and experiences that would teach me and through me, others and so on. I believe we all have special gifts and something to offer to help better our world and humanity.

:D That you all have had it speak to you makes me smile.

True Purelogix, it certainly is which is why I maintain it’s all about the balance.
