I recently called my elderly father. In the conversation I mentioned some bad news about the country’s state of affairs. Very calmly, my father stopped me and asked “do we need to talk about this?” He is well informed, still reads his newspaper and watches the news every day. But a few years ago, he and his wife deliberately decided not to talk about negative things anymore. Within a short time I could see the difference in his physical and emotional health. Needless to say, our conversation changed and we both felt better.
As the saying goes, what you focus on grows…
