Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air form November 19th
Is negativity all bad? only when we get stuck in it and we are unwilling to embrace what positive possibilities are before us. The universe works on both a negative and positive frequency as we all do. We have night and day, black and white, Yin and Yang and that becomes our challenge to find a balance in it all.
It is not about being positive all the time, the happy willing only to see life jollies. It is being grateful for the things we can change, the choices we can make and live in a belief that we can make a positive difference in our lives and that of others.
We need the darkness to see the light, for then we truly see the truth of that light. The light can be blinding, so we need shade to contour it to define the light, everything has a purpose.
So take a positive attitude to life, when your down, mad, angry, hurt and in pain, spend that emotion so you can from those ashes fill your self up with some positive aspects that can and will show you the light and joy of life.

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from November 5th
Falling into place because we allow it, what a concept. I came back from the UK with a choice to make, and because I was confused and tried I decided to sit back and ALLOW things to happen.
I did not expect it to happen so fast and in the way it has done so, but I know enough about life to step out of my own way and allow what is meant to be to be.
It is interesting that Australia has become so big in my life with 3 international companies extending into the world, I will be a gate to that world. (MORE TO COME IN DETAIL LATER)
So because I stepped back, relaxed, surrendered to allowing, because of one introduction from Gina Gardiner Self Discovery Media is branching out, much gratitude Gina who is also in our service directory.
So allow, do not dictate and let things happen as they are meant to, you have asked for help, clarity so let it happen.

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Gina Gardner, on air from November 12th.
Gina says…We live at a time where we are bombarded with information via the news, social media, and documentaries. The vast majority of them are spewing out news about political mudslinging and uncertainty, wars, people being displaced, hunger, global warming, poverty, division, and natural disaster.
There was a time not so long ago when the news was limited to the daily newspaper and the news programmes which were shown a few times a day on terrestrial TV which closed down for the day at midnight. Today there is no let-up to the onslaught of information via phones, tablets, PCs, TVs etc.
Much of the time you can’t be sure what is fact, what is political spin or downright lies. The few ‘feel good’ stories often put as a sweetener at the end of the show does little to drown out the torrent of negativity.
I believe this is making a significant contribution to an epidemic of social depression. I’m not talking about clinical depression or where people have been affected by a tragedy, abuse or life-changing situation which has had a profound effect on them.
I believe the western world is being badly affected by what I describe as social depression. A feeling that you are helpless, that things are being done by others over which you have no control. A sense of overwhelm, fatigue and low mood which persists and you are not quite sure why.
I think we are absorbing the negativity
which surrounds us and for the most part are unaware of the growing miasma
until it sucks our vitality. Rather like
the Dementors in Harry Potter.
I believe that we absorb the mood of those around us really easily. When we are with really positive people it is easier to feel energised and optimistic. When we are surrounded by negative messages, people who are moaning or focusing on the problems rather than potential solutions it is rather like bubonic plague or Ebola. It is incredibly infections and just as deadly.
In the UK over half the prescriptions issued are for anti-depressants. Whilst many people rely on these drugs, others find they have to take larger and larger doses and are still feeling they are unable to cope. The most common reason for men under 40 dying in the UK is not illness or accident but suicide. The economy in the UK loses £70+ billion per year through days lost to work through stress and the cost of presenteeism is thought to cost twice as much to the economy. This in no way gives any sense of the human cost that underpins such figures.
The number of children and young people who are struggling to cope is growing at an alarming rate.
People are using alcohol, drugs, food, shopping, and sex to act as an anesthetic, to dumb down negative feelings. Surely it is time to question what is going on and look to implement solutions which will make a lasting difference.
It would be easy to think there is nothing
we can do about things but I completely disagree. I think that anyone who believes they are too
inconsequential to make a difference should spend the night in a room with a
mosquito. We have choices – every minute
of every day. Every choice we make has
consequences. Even not choosing makes
consequences, and it is often not choosing which has the most impact.
Here is a selection of my top strategies to help you step out of social depression:
95% of our thinking is habitual – it
doesn’t actually involve our conscious brain.
Learning to think mindfully to be conscious of the quality of our
thinking has the capacity to make a huge and positive difference.
Take radical responsibility for everything
you say and do, how and when you say or do it or on whether you do it at
all. Be responsible for yourself physically, emotionally and spiritually – if
you hand that responsibility to others you have to put up with what they
decide. No one can MAKE you unhappy
unless you choose to let them.
Your beliefs become our reality – if you think you will fail it becomes a done deal, believe you will succeed even if you are not quite sure how then you open the door of possibility. It is time to do a complete overhaul of your beliefs and to ensure they underpin success and happiness.
Choose to focus on what you CAN DO rather
than what you can’t. What you focus on
appears to expand. If you focus on the
negative – it feels as if it grows. The
same is true of focusing on the positive –
it too begins to expand and grow.
Treat yourself as you would a best friend. So rather than beating yourself up be kind to
yourself. Rather than comparing yourself
with others, with images which have been heavily doctored choose to appreciate
and love yourself – wobbly bits and all.
YOU ARE ENOUGH!
Be aware of the language you use – language is incredibly powerful particularly
self-chatter. Be aware that we are often
our own worst critics, we often so much harder on ourselves than we are others. Be mindful of using the same criteria for
yourself as you do others.
Collecting gratitudes is an incredibly
positive impact when you do it on a regular basis. As you go through the day notice the things
which give you pleasure or make you smile. Make it easy!! Just before you go to sleep scan the day and
choose your top 5. Done regularly this
will re-calibrate the brain and help you feel really positive.
Random acts of kindness – doing things for others with no expectation of any acknowledgment creates a lasting feel-good factor.
Find your true purpose – be of service to
others, animals or the environment. As
you take a positive step to making a difference, the quality of your life will
change hugely – for the better.
These are just a few of the things you CAN do to help you and those you care about to feel good despite all the negativity which surrounds us. At the core is learning to live a life which is embracing love and compassion rather than fear and division.
Everything we do is a choice, even not choosing is actually a choice and every choice has consequences. Doesn’t it make sense to choose to be happy?

If we are lucky we all get older, but are we prepared for it?
Pensions are simply not enough, the cost of living has multiplied, and just surviving is hard enough, this is why so many seniors are still having to work for a living.
So many wonderful souls have made their self-discovery and have found a meaningful purpose later in life, and the work they do is a gift to those who are ready to hear and apply the wisdom. I have had the honour of sharing them with you here on Self Discovery Media.
They are making such a profound difference in the lives of others because of their incredible life journey. We learn so much from them and in this newfound joy of living, they have found so much love of life in what they do in helping others.
There is a but though, what about those who have to work because their pensions are not enough? They worked paid into their pension and now it simply is not enough to live on in today’s world. I have a friend who is 86 years old and still having to work to keep her home. It is not right and she is not alone.
So are you prepared for your old age? Have you ever thought about it? do you know what you can do to have enough when you retire? is there a way now you can earn more income?
Time to ask the questions but also time to be there for our seniors who have got caught in this extreme rise is the cost of living, we DON’T need now more homelessness, no more loneliness, and no more disposing of the elderly because society can’t be bothered.
UPDATE.
There seems to be a target on seniors with disabilities in Canada right now, and a fight is on for our salvation, always check your government because they do pull the plug hoping you won’t notice. So many of us died in this pandemic, needlessly, and now there is an attack on their livelihood, we paved the way for others to thrive, dignity and respect is needed now.
