Staying Positive
by Deb Baker/Hannah Reed
With so much NOT right in the world, both with natural disasters and man-made mayhem, sometimes it's hard to stay hopeful and upbeat. But we all have to take time for our own mental health, to realize that no matter what happens, we'll get by. It's about finding balance, about not letting the bad stuff get us down.
Here are a few of the things I do to get my groove back:
Read a funny bookTake a walk and concentrate on what's around me, not what's churning insideListen to rock and roll, all those wonderful musical blasts from my pastIf only for a few hours, surround myself with positive people and avoid the doomsayersWhich means no national/world/local news at all
