How To Stay Positive When Everything Feels Lost
⚡ Perspective check: it’s going to be okay. There is a silver lining. The problem? Our culture has a faith deficit—and a negativity addiction. Fake accounts and bots flood social media just to stir division. That’s spiritual warfare 101: distract, divide, destroy.
Here’s the raw truth: if you stay in the negative feedback loop—doomscrolling, raging, feeding on conflict—you become the negativity. I caught myself there recently, mad at God, mad at the world. Then I stepped away from the news, unplugged from the feeds, and immediately felt healthier.
Negativity is wired into us, which is why tabloids and clickbait sell. But you don’t have to buy it. Choose faith. Choose hope. Break the loop.
