But are we really aware of effect that these daily messages have on our minds and attitudes, on our inner life? How do we deal with our real feelings about war, terrorism, elections, environment, and other issues? It’s surprisingly easy to carry silent resentment, fear, and deep anxiety about these things without even realizing it.

Everyone knows it’s important for any individual to stay balanced, but how can one do it when pressure is on, when one is assaulted by negative messages from all sides?

Get in Touch with yourself.

People are usually much more willing to analyze an external issue and give opinions than to look inside themselves. Take a moment to get in touch with your inner response to a much talked about and urgent current event. Use some adjectives to describe your personal way of relating to events you are aware of, and write them down on a piece of paper. Do you feel concerned, combative, hopeful, disgusted, despondent or numb? Are feelings obvious or vague? Allowing your feelings to become clear to you gives you more power to influence them.

Decide what gets inside your head.

Every day, Americans are bombarded by information from advertisements and media. Maybe in years past, news about world events used to come at a slower pace, often by word of mouth, but nowadays it’s easy to overdose before finishing breakfast, on information about events occurring on other side of world.

Just as you make choices about foods you eat, be judicious about what you allow to enter your mind. What you hear and see affect what you think, and what you think over time determines quality and substance of your life. How necessary is it to read entire newspaper every day, or to listen to and share office or family gossip? What other possibilities can you think of for your valuable time?

Train yourself to consistently stay on guard, and watchful of external messages constantly contending for your precious attention. Make it a point to actively allow or deny them entrance, according to your best judgment.

Invest in your personal Vitality (Wind your Clock)

There are always going to be people who you dislike or disagree with over some issue that is important to you. It may well be your boss that you hold a pretence relationship with just to keep rest of office happy. You may well have a family member that really bugs you from time to time yet you still have no choice but to tolerate them regardless of how this individual makes you feel inside.

You are bound to come across doubters and pessimists on your journey through life and these are worst sort of people you can surround yourself with unless you have a strong sense of belief and confidence in your future potential.

What normally happens in these negative situations is your self-esteem is lowed by pressure of others and how they make you feel. The result of low self-esteem strongly jeopardises your chances of taking control of your future.

All of us have had unpleasant experiences and situations that we have had to deal with on a daily basis. Many of us have been subjected to bad surrounding, but no matter what environment, there comes a time when you have deal with it.

In order to escape people who bug you I want you to purchase and begin a DIARY OF EMOTIONS which is simply a page-a-day diary dedicated to your emotional state of mind.
