Missed my anniversary ...

Well folks I've been here two years !!! and two months haha.

Yes I missed it guys, I missed my Steem anniversary. Anyways a delayed little celebration today. Ok I understand there will be no candles for me but at least here's a post from me to mark the occasion.

In the last two years my content and indeed me has changed dramatically. I started pumping out stuff just about me and my walks. But everyone does this and I feel my role is a communicator. I then moved onto a podcast, as I like to talk and can got off on quite a tangent at times. I thought this would be good but this is a lot of work folks to be honest; dam I appreciate those of you out there who do it! Today I am just trying to focus on my journey and the things that aid and this is my purpose here on Steem to share and build on this. It's only taken two years to find, and now there's 'Tribes' whats all that about how do I get involved?

After a little absence while I had to sort my head out a bit and find where i was heading I return (after missing my anniversary). My new focus (my favourite line at the mo) is spreading what has inspired me and also good vibes; which brings me nicely onto my point of this post ... da da

Abandon the Media

It must have been about four years now since I threw away my television and it was the best thing I have ever done. Now I still watch the odd program I not a complete weirdo as many seem to think when I tell people this. I generally watch documentaries, I would like to say I spend more time in nature, reading and being creative; while I probably do this more than you're average Joe' I could do way more. The major benefit I feeling is my mental state. The media is generally all negative "Death, Destruction, War" as my brother always says and this brings us down; we are directly affected by what we experience! If we are only viewing negative things, "Death, Destruction, War we will only see that in the world. When we can only see the negative this in turn means our perception is mostly negative, we walk around with this perception and attitude spreading it. Our perceptions and attitude directly effect who we meet and what happens in our life.

I mean I flick through the headlines and frankly it's all a load of tosh, nothing really that effects me. Other than the same old Brexit shit (which let's be honest is a manufactured event that has been decided long before the vote) and people being murdered and killed. I don't need that negativity in my life, I not detracting from people sadness of a loss of a random person but how does it effect me. They should be reporting positive news about developments, about efforts to change humanity and about acts of kindness, but that doesn't sell folks because us humans love tragedy and gore. I don't know why this is really? Maybe were are not exposed to enough positives in our live we need to see others misfortune to feel better. All the media does is is pump out fear and tell us the world is unsafe so we all need protection for the bad bad people (often created by the negative media), they know this will have a negative effect on our consciousness hence our mood and our ability to think freely and make positive changes.

What is really incredible for me is the massive change in my thought process since not engaging with the media. I see the negatives and even in some programs I watch you can see the deliberate attempts at conditioning the mind of the viewers. I mean I don't watch any Reality TV at all; I mean that's the biggest contradiction in terms i've ever heard it's contrived and rigged and setup TV.

So right whats the alternative? You say, how will I know whats going on in the world? You say. Well bull shit! That's whats going on in the world of media! What you need to do if find good honest people who say it how it is, there are plenty on here! Find a few subjects that interest you watch videos about these. For me it's bushcraft and exploring videos I watch mostly. If you need to know about finances (which I do like to keep up on) the media don't tell the truth on this find some reliable sources, don't rely on one. Watch / or read a few for example finances @maneco64 or @dollarvigilante. Then i'd say you don't really need to know what else is going on unless it interests, you need to protect your mind and emotions.

Now as I said previously I do flick over the headlines but I feel I have built up a level of protection over a few years not to let this bring my energy down! Too much though I can feel my energy dwindling and I have to go off into nature the real world to refresh. See folks it's all about keep our minds fresh and positive, if we do this our lives are more positive our thoughts resonate into our day to day appearance and what we invite into our day! If we can focus on the positive then we attract that. I not saying we have to avoid anything negative and walk around with flowers in our hair and jump like a forest nymph but if the majority is positive then this will overcome the negative flipping the balance. Currently in this world the media's negativity holds the balance but if people start to disengage then this will flip and the world's consciousness will rise. As the Chilli Peppers said "Throw away your television" it's actually a beautiful world out there so much good and positive things happen, go find them and see the changes that occur in you're mind; this will then resonate into your life's events...
