Hello! Apologies, particularly to newcomers checking out this page, that I have not posted in a while. I put myself in a time-out. ☺️
My goal for this page was to be inspirational, positive and encouraging, and, honestly, I wasn’t feeling it. I got wrapped up in the negativity of the world around me. I got sucked in and was drowning in the bad news I was reading.
But, I managed to get myself out of that funk, that negative head space, and into a healthier one. So, I’m back with something positive. Maybe you’re in the same dilemma - trying to stay informed and also trying to stay sane. So, if I can make a mental shift, so can you.
When I got tired of reading about human rights violations, the US Constitution being dismantled, etc., and made a conscious decision instead to read whatever uplifting news came across my feed, what scientific discovery or new invention a country implemented to help people and our planet, or a story about someone doing some great good with their time or their wealth… the results were pretty dramatic.
The first thing that changed was my mindset. I became more hopeful and less fearful and angry. (This doesn’t mean I stopped caring about injustices…)
The next thing that happened, though, was that my Facebook feed itself actually changed! I started seeing more positive content and less political content. Hallelujah!
It is absolutely true that what you think about, you bring about. I trained my brain to focus on the positive and then my news feed actually became more positive! We all know this is an algorithm and not a miracle, but still…
Anyway, I feel better. And I’m back to hopefully inspire anyone reading this. I hope you too can change your scrolling to have a more positive experience.
Namaste
