One of the worst things you can do for your positive thinking is to watch, listen and read the News. I have deliberately not watched the news for over five years now.
I believe that all the negativity from the news media, leads people to think that the world is such a dreadful place and that there is a mugger around every corner. In which case, we should be mugged at least 300 times a year.
Friends of mine always states that they have to keep in touch with what is going on in the world and they don't feel 'connected' until they have a coffee and have watched the news on TV. I just call it an addiction.
