Giving yourself a mental "check up from neck up" will certainly make you aware of dangers of allowing too much negative news to permeate and influence your thoughts. Think about it. We are constantly bombarded with negative messages from moment we arise in morning to minute we fall asleep at night. Still don't believe me? Here's another little test:

Get this morning's newspaper. Open it to first three pages (these are pages that Editor of newspaper considers are most important). Find a red crayon and a blue crayon. Put a red border around all bad news. Then take your blue crayon and do same for any good news stories (if you can find any). Now compare area bounded in red by area bounded in blue. What do you find?

You need to be aware of this constant battle between positive and negative. There is a competition between two for space each occupies in your mind and thought processes.

The more positive thoughts you can put into your brain less you will be influenced by army of doom-sayers.

When you believe in power of positive, a strange thing begins to happen. You start to attract good things into your life like a magnet! Read Dr Helmstetter's excellent book "What to Say When You Talk to Yourself" and give yourself that "check up from neck up."

In her book, Florence Littauer defines personality traits. In it you will learn how to get along with four main personality types, and multiple combinations of them. I have had privilege of hearing Florence speak and she is a truly gifted author and presenter.

By understanding your own personality traits and those of other people you will enhance your ability to get along with those who are important to you. If you are a Human Resource Officer, a General Manager, a salesperson, or just somebody who likes to get along with other people, what would this skill be worth to you?

Guard yourself against Hannibal Lecter's of this world. Your life will be so much more fulfilling without their destructive influence.
