If a bad news looks like gosstp, I shrug it off. But once I get the truth that it is gossip, I erase it off my mind.

Thanks for sharing, Cinderella.
All the best.

First, I distract myself with music or some home task. Then, I dwell on the news and do my best to be mindful of all that is given with grattitude.

Hi Cinderella, love your name.

Dealing with bad news could definitely ruin our day, especially when others try to put us down or break us down. But looking at the brighter side of it somehow might be impossible, it really depends on the situation and on how a person handles it.

But as for me, whenever storms come on my way, I close my eyes for a second and try to feel my breath. Then, I start to count my blessings, I name them one by one.

What do I mean by this? When dealing with bad reports, stressing ourselves and panicking won't help us. I know it's hard for others to stay calm in such scenarios, but making a PAUSE will help us straighten our minds.

There's always bad reports coming, let's expect the world's unexpected clashes. If we set our mind correctly, if we don't let ourselves be affected on other's strategies, and if we cast all our fears and worries to Him, everything will stay calmed and be peaceful.

Hope you'll have a nice day today!

Love,
The Marklaine

Thanks Cinderella.
First, I won't listen to gossip. When I suspect it is, I excuse myself. When I read something that I feel is spiteful or hurtful, I leave it. I respect everyone's opinion, but I don't let people get me down.
Great post.
Thanks
Joe
