A World in Turmoil - 4./Protect Your Hope

 HOW TO COPE-Helpful Tips

FOCUS ON THE POSITIVE

The Bible says: "All the days of the afflicted one are bad, but the one with a cheerful heart has a continual feast." (Proverbs 15:15) A negative outlook  can blind you to solution that are readily available.  In contrast, a positive attitude might help you to think of ways to deal with your situation.

. Limit the amount of time and attention you give to the news.

. At the end of each day, list two or three things for which you can be thankful.

. Make a to-do list, and include only what you can do today.  Break down larger tasks into small ones so that you will see the results of your efforts at the end of the day.
