I often see people reading the newspaper in the morning whilst they are eating their breakfast and they are constantly shaking their head and getting stressed about what they’re reading.
This is the perfect way to set you up for a day full of stress, resentment and gut issues.
Do you think that the best way to start your day is by reading everything that’s wrong in the world?
Do you think that it’s a good practice for your mental and emotional health?
Don’t you think it would be better to start the day with something that is motivational, inspiring and uplifting?
Or something that makes you smile?
How about listening to your favourite song?
Or reading a passage of a book you love?
Do you think that would set you up for your day ahead better than reading the “news” paper which is designed to make you live in fear and put you in your fight or flight nervous system so you can’t relax, recover or think clearly?
I think you know the answer to this.
A simple thing you can do to stop this negative habit is to try to be conscious so every time you find yourself getting stressed, see what you are getting stressed over.
Ask yourself, “Is it worth it?”
I think you’ll find most of the time it isn’t.
Try to give yourself a news fast for a few days and see the positive impact that has on your psychology and physiologically.
It’s something I do with my clients and the improvement they have just from this one simple task is phenomenal.
If you too would like to reduce your overall stress and increase your happiness then I suggest you give it a go.
I bet you’ll see a vast improvement in your mental and emotional happiness.
At the very least you won’t be putting your mind and body into a fear-based state to start the day.
