With all the recent reminders that there is evil, tragedy, injustice, and plain out negativity in the world, we have to remember that that’s not all the world has to offer.
1. Remind yourself of the good in the world
Negative news is thrown in our faces left right and center. It’s always good to be up to date with recent events, but it’s another thing to be limited to and consumed by only negative ones. As a human race we have come a long way, and even though there is a lot more to be done, progress is being made. Expose yourself to positive news; it will improve your outlook on life and your view of yourself as a member of society.
2. Go outside
Nature (specifically scenery) is scientifically the most beautiful and aesthetically pleasing thing to the human eye. Taking a little hike or even going on a short stroll can liberate feelings of anguish, distraught, anxiety, etc.
3. Surround yourself with good, positive people
Regardless of what type of person you are, being around optimistic, genuinely good people will only improve your life. The people you surround yourself with should not only bring the best out in you, but should also inspire you to grow and be better. Remember, quality is better than quantity.
