People tend to pick sides or teams. Whether it is in a religious setting (Christian v Muslim), sports (football v rugby), Politics (left v right) or any other area with more than one option.
Be clear why you picked the side you did.

Push Through Uncomfortable
When you find something to be a bit beyond your comfort level, there are several things you can do. You can ask someone, who may know more, for some guidance, or you can carry on trying to figure it out on your own. Some people, many I believe, will just stop trying, give up and do other things that are easier or within their comfort zone.
However, where you get your greatest growth to propel you to the next level of thinking and life, is when you push through uncomfortable feelings and grow as a person.

Productive Downtime
It’s amazing how you can find pockets of time in your day to be productive. This could be while waiting in a queue, while others are sleeping or when some people would go for a nap or get entertained.
By squeezing some productivity in between the cracks in the day, you can get more done and leave rest time, strictly for rest.

Feel But Then Think
We feel first. But do we reflect on those feelings properly and often enough?
We have an ability to understand ourselves better yet few people take the pause to really consider this.
If you feel harshly about someone, what is the real feeling from? Don’t consider why you think you feel that way. Rather, try to understand what it is that is creating the actual feeling for you.

Fear Focus
Expecting disaster in any aspect of life is a good way to invite mental health issues.
Very many newspapers, news radio, news media, some recording artists and many individuals focus on fear and disillusionment. It is a road to horrible.
As Yoda said in Star Wars, “Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.”
When you consume trash, expect trash in your system.
You can change this. Ween yourself off of the news. Unless you’ve met someone, or listen to people who have spent significant time with them, then you are being used by the media to think certain things and in certain ways about that person or event.
Of the thousands of pieces of information that they could feed you, they’ll feed you the spiciest so you’ll keep coming back. However, like just about anything in excess, you’ll start to regret having any.
Focus on positive words, reports, sayings, activities and people. Let the rest land where it may, but don’t let it be in your lap.
