10. Stop reading the newspaper
While the world truly is a much better place than it was decades ago, you probably won’t realize that if you keep on watching televised news or reading the newspaper.
Remember, these media outlets have an agenda and they inflate isolated incidents to make money, making them look like they’re happening just about everywhere else.
As soon as you detox from all the toxicity, you’ll adapt a much more optimistic view of the world around you.
