You learn in personal development that life is a journey, not a destination.
We have an expression in our personal development community about CNN. We call it Constant Negative News. The vast majority of the world believes they have to be informed in order to have conversations with people about the topic of the day. In taking a close look at this I see this just developing one negative thought after another. First we get the negative information from the news broadcast then we carry that on in our head and with other people the rest of the day.
When I first got involved in personal development I fought not watching the news for awhile since I was kind of a news junky. But it soon became clear to me and one of the comments I read really assisted me. Think of your mind as a bank account and for every negative thought you have take out a dollar and for every positive thought deposit a dollar. Now at the end of the day, what does your bank account look like? If I choose to continue to watch the news how many dollars would I have to remove from my bank account?
Personal development is our business and our life,

Hy Michael,
There´s so much negative stuff going on at the moment that you can´t focus on all that bullshit. Of course we should accpet the way things are but it doesn´t make it any better when we just listening and bein attached to that stuff all the time. We can´t change it.
We should focus on the positive things that help us growth and motivate us.
Gerald

Hello really nice website, I saw your web site when I was research on how to develop my blog. I was simply what spam software you employ for comments as I get lots on my blog.
Thank your friend for me.
Michael
Friend of mine recommend me to visit your site, I found the this what I looked for . Thank you
Right on Mandee you got it. Thanks for your comments.
Michael
I wasn’t raised on cable television and we’ve never connected our TVs to the local news stations either. I occasionally do check my local stations’ websites to see what’s going on in my immediate area, but other than that I feel as though most news is just a bunch of gossip. I’ve never really had much use for it, and whenever I’ve watched it in the past, I usually came away discouraged or worried over some situation that didn’t even affect me.
Mandee
You’re welcome Steve and thanks for your input.
Michael
Totally agree, not only are they spewing out negativity all day but the political bias of CNN AND Fox News is horrendous…
Thx for the info,
Steve
You’re welcome.
Michael
Thanks Chris. Yes not only does it stay with you but if you know about the subject and someone brings it up a day or two later you remember it again and again.
Michael
Great read. Thanks for the info!
Hi Michael,
I stopped watching the news years ago, right after I read that 5 mins negativity stays in your subconscious for 23 hours. WOW!
Thanks for sharing this post.
Keep smiling
Chris
Yes Janine we have a lady in our business that was a reporter and tells very similar stories of them trying to sensationalize everything by providing bogus filming and etc. She could not stand it any more. Thanks for your comments.
Michael
I love the bank account analogy Michael, and I agree that there is nothing good about the news. I have found that I am better off without it.
Hi Michael, couldn’t agree more with your post. I stopped watching the news 21 years ago now after visitng Fiji during the Rambuka coup and then coming home and seeing what was being put to air here in Aussie on the news. I also spoke to reporters in Fiji who confirmed that the news video footage we saw here was not even footage of Fijians in Fiji but footage from elsewhere in the world. I was so disgusted because I thought that news was supposed to be factual at that stage. I turned it off then and haven’t turned it on since! Who needs to be depressed by “bad news” which it always is, that isn’t even real or is only partly real!
I’d suggest to everyone turn of the news and send the industry a message that we don’t want it or at least want a much better and more factual quality of presentation.
Thanks for your post!!!
Yes it is.
Michael
Count me in an that one Michael. I last watched TV about 5 years ago, I have said enough! True story: I have only watched 2 DVD’s in all that time. Unbeaten and Kids with Cameras! The expansion into a life full of time and creative endeavours is what is given over for, lazy, thoughtless relaxation and conforming affirmations. Once I sat in the street where I lived and I could see the strobe of the TV’s illuminating the windows and curtains. With freakish synchronicity homes flickered simultaneously. A few houses on this channel, a few on that one but no one thinking for themselves, drones. I remember thinking was this a scene from a sci-fi movie? People actually believe they need this stuff in their being!! There is a channel, we create the broadcast and we are the only one to receive it. Live a life brimming with original moments.
I totally agree Michael! We get what we put in our brains and our body.
I am thankful that I have broken the habit of TV and do not have much use for it these days with the exception of movies with my wife and daughter.
Make it a great day!
God Bless,

i too am on a low-information diet! such peace…
