When I got pregnant with my first baby my midwife forbade me from watching discovery channel delivery ward and/or listening to any horror delivery story from anybody.

Delivery is a mental game, she explained, you can have the pregnancy and delivery you want, but you need your mind to work with you.

I followed her instructions (it was not easy to stop "well intended" friends and they need to share a pain tale) and I did have a wonderlful pregnancy and delivery.

Now I took it one step further. I am not watching the news. I repeat, I do not watch the news. The news will not give me a view of what is happening in the world. It will give me the view of the world the news station wants me to see.

The news will not help me create the life I want, full of happiness and joy. Thinking about all those bad news is noise of the bad kind. I need that space on my mind to create the life I want.

I have not watched the news for over 6 months and my life is better and I have not missed out on anything.

I am ignoring the noise and listening more to the music playing inside.

So nice...
