Cultivate gratitude each day this month.
Day 15: Thankful for Good News
- Scripture: Isaiah 52:7 — How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of the messenger who announces peace, who brings good news, who announces salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns.”
- Meditation: One negative piece of news or feedback can overwhelm multiple positive messages.According to the science of psychology, it takes at least five (5) positive comments to balance out one negative critique. Again, focusing on positive messages, headlines, stories, or reports can change our perspective, especially when times are stressful. Reinforcing positive messages for others is one way we can also shift both our own and others experiences to one that is more appreciative and sustainable.
- Spiritual Practice: Share a piece of good news with someone today or encourage someone with uplifting words.
