today i quit the news

June 28, 2010

CNN

as of late i have been drawn close to the law of attraction which essentially states that what we think, we become. so with this i have started to audit the things i choose to invest my thoughts and energy into to see what things i should purge from my life.

the first thing that came into my mind was the news. i realized that no matter how much information i ingest day to day my life doesn’t improve. in fact i dwell on all of the things they push which focus on death, despair, disorder and a whole slew of other downer words starting with the letter d.

so, that being said. i removed my bookmarks that all link to news sites and i am deciding to not read the news anymore. does this mean i will be able to avoid the news entirely? no. i am sent many links and i am constantly digging around online. however i can avoid choosing to engage with the news.

and i start today.

Me too! Think about positive things happening and we will attract positive circumstances… yay

Love is the face and body of the universe. It is the connective tissue of the universe, the stuff of which we are made. Love is the experience of being whole and connected to Universal Divinity.
I want to encourage you to step out of the normal “bounds” of your life and to begin seeing yourself differently. I want to encourage you to live your life and the cutting edge of time, allowing yourself to be born into a new life every minute.
I want to encourage you to allow your life experience to be lightly dusted with form.

Good choice Mr. D, I stopped reading the news a long time ago and it is amazing, people say things like “Did you hear….?!!” No I didn’t hear and that is alright with me.
