A good mindfulness technique is to “pay attention to what we are paying attention to”. We amplify what we give space to. If our focus is always on what is wrong, then we amplify the negative. While the media tries to focus us on what is wrong in the world to grab our attentions, we must not lose focus on all that is right and good in our communities. Let’s pay attention to the good. – Ameeta
