A WORLD IN TURMOIL/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 solutions that are readily available.  In contrast, a positive attitude might help you 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 to today.  Break down larger tasks into smaller ones so that you will see the results of your efforts at the end of the day.
