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?
TUNE IN HERE WITH SARA AND GINA TO HEAR HOW WE CAN OVERCOME SOCIAL DEPRESSION.

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.

Ignite your heart and soul with Sara Troy and her guest Christina Hill with Athella, on-air from October 29th
Being alone and ok with oneself, the practice of solidarity, and keeping oneself aligned while in the midst of others (esp. men and wild egos!)
When I am whole, healthy, and complete within, then my outer world is a mirror reflection of that inner peace and acceptance. I accept and love myself, my mind and body are healthy and happy, and I am my own best friend. I compassionately observe my thoughts, and I lovingly turn my total attention to the present moment whenever I catch myself drifting off to the past or future in my mind. I now create a loving reality within, and am open to receiving love on all levels without! Adopting the above affirmations of Truth will create the most radical shifts in your world, you could not even conceive the most magical changes that will occur as you say “YES” to loving yourself! It does not matter what thoughts you used to have in the past, even 5 minutes ago. You can begin right now to shift your thoughts and feelings and go deep within yourself for all that you need. Many of us are in an old habit of looking outbound for our fulfillment (the relationships, the money, the material items, etc etc)… yet when we make the decision to fulfill all our own needs, we begin to love ourselves in a way that no other person or thing could provide. Paradoxically, this offers to us more divine connections, more abundance, all that we love and desire that is external to us just arrive naturally and organically.
JOIN SARA AND CHRISTINA WITH ATHELLA HERE ON BEING ALONE
Athella’s mission is to bring worldwide healing to all humans who are willing and ready to shift into higher dimensional living during this epic point on planet Earth. Rather than standing for a cause, she stands in Light and passes her messages and healings through the body of Christina Hill… in other words, if Athella had a mission statement it would not be a written statement, it would be energy that you can feel when you decide to connect with her.
