The admonition to avoid negativity is especially important. We can not avoid all the negativity and bad news in the world; knowing there is a fire in you neighborhood is diferent from hearing that there was a small bonfire, 3,000 miles away.We now live in a world where we are enveloped in bad news, trained by the media to actually crave it. But, with practice and attention, we can learn to distinguish the difference. Between bad news that truly affects us and that which just keeps us depressed.
