Why The World Is In Distress

No, it’s not the virus.

If you look around you, many people are full of fear. Eye contact seems to have become a crime for many.

Since you can’t see many peoples facial expressions anymore, the only place left to see is the eyes. They tell enough.

Why is the world in distress?

Not because of the virus.

Because of the world's reaction to the information received.

What does your daily information diet consist of?

Is it full of crap?

What’s considered crap, you may ask?

In my opinion, anything that doesn't bring you closer to your desired emotional state.

How many pieces of information do you consume per day make you feel good?

Please give it a good thought.

Many people reading this may say, “But I have to know what’s going on in this world, otherwise, I will not be informed enough to make correct decisions.”

Really?

Since when are decisions taken out of fear good?

Because 99% of popular news is based on fear.

It’s a crap information diet.

The problem is that it’s so damn frequent.

But so is McDonald's and Burger King. You'll find them on every corner. But do you consume them just because they are everywhere?

If you want to focus on moving forward, the first thing you have to do is upgrade your information diet.

Trust me. You’ll hear bad news from enough people around you—no need to consume it yourself too.

What will happen when you start consuming empowering information that moves you closer to your desired emotional state and closer to your goals?

I’ll let you guess.

Events in the world and the news will occur whether you listen to them or not. Not listening to them DOES NOT make you a bad person.

Whatever is happening out there will keep happening.

FOMO will kick in. But guess what. You’ll get over it. The withdrawal symptoms will disappear.

Try it for yourself, and watch your mood change. Watch your thoughts become more positive, watch your creativity level increase, watch your motivation grow. Watch your goals come closer.

This is the power of changing your “information diet.”

Good Luck!
