The dream of every parent is to watch their parents live in a safe, peaceful world and when it seems that dream will never come through it becomes our duty to find ways to live in this world without being dragged down by the weight of it's problems.

Here are ways to feel great when everything seems to be going wrong;

1. Go for good news

Now we are bombarded with 24 hours of sad sad news, "7 year old burnt to death for stealing garri", "37 dies during boko-haram bombing, "Man caught with head of a new born'' those are the kind of news we read these days and it makes you numb, it makes you wonder what is wrong with the world. Stop reading such news as media outlets create sensational headlines to get more clicks, the more you read such the more your faith in the goodness of the dies and you're left feeling hopeless. Deliberately seek and watch the good things happening in the world, you can visit these sites Upworthy, the Good News Network.

2. Don't read online comments

I know this can be tough for you but if you have noticed, the comment section is where bitter, sad and desperate people come to spew out the bile in their mind even if the topic isn't at all controversial. Sensible people comment too but so also will such people and their comments may get to you, making you sad.

 

3. Make a difference

It's easy to comment and get into heated conversation with people on the internet and face-to-face but that's not enough to change anything in the world. In your community what good have you done? Feed the poor, fight sex abuse do some good so you can boldly say you've done your part in making the world better.

4. Treat yourself to something nice

In the midst of the wrong things going on in the world, it's easy to forget that there's still good in the world. Take time to enjoy the small things in life, your child's laughter, the warmth of the sun on your skin, your small and big achievement, the smell of the rain and blooming flowers, take your family out to the park. When taking your bath enjoy it, when you free your spirit and allow yourself to enjoy the small and big things in life you'd think less of the gloom and doom that pervades the world.

If we focus too much on the brutal things happening in our world, we'll lose focus and become discouraged. Focus on making an impact in your world and spreading love and kindness to others that way your child can receive good from all wherever they go to.
