“Ask Dorothy” – The News Reporting Horrible Things Is Causing Me To Feel Depressed And Afraid. What Can I do?

Q: Dorothy, Laura from North Park asks:  I am appalled by all of the terrible things that are happening all over the world.  Every day, the news reports more and more horrible things and this is causing me to feel really depressed and afraid.  What can I do to change the way I feel?

A: We have two choices every moment of every day.  We can choose either fear or love.  The interesting thing is that we are being programmed to be afraid.  We are being fed stories every day, as you have noticed, that tell us to be very afraid.  The truth is that there is so much good happening that goes unnoticed and unreported.  If you look for good news, you will find it.  If you continue to read the daily news and to watch negative programs on TV and go to movies that focus on terror and destruction, you cannot help but be depressed.  Change your focus and you will change your emotions.

I discovered a long time ago that what I focus on expands so I choose to focus on the good things happening by looking for the good.  There are so many beautiful people posting amazing uplifting messages online.    For example, when you go onto Facebook, you can search for LIFE CHANGES and you will find over 750 Life Changing moments which are shared to uplift and inspire.  More and more life changing moments are added every day.  You can also listen to some amazing meditations by going to Facebook and search for The Life Changes Show.  There you will find some videos that provide one with much inspiration.  I watch and listen to these every day to keep me focused on my truths and to assist me in choosing LOVE. Dorothy, Laura from North Park asks:  I am appalled by all of the terrible things that are happening all over the world.  Every day, the news reports more and more horrible things and this is causing me to feel really depressed and afraid.  What can I do to change the way I feel ??
