Quote:

"The world can only get better if we understand how it is. We must learn to see the world based on facts, not ideology or pessimism." - Hans Rosling

 

Tips: 

**Challenging Beliefs and Shifting Mindsets:**

Understanding these statistics is a first step toward a more positive outlook, but how do we change our deeply ingrained beliefs?

 

  1. **Seek Out Positive News:** Make a habit of looking for positive news stories. Websites like Gapminder and others that focus on global progress can be great resources.(The Guardian, BBC News, Flipboard, Digg, New York Times)
  • **Question Negativity:** When you encounter negative news, ask yourself if it represents the overall trend or just an isolated incident. Remember, bad news often makes headlines because it's rare, not because it's common.
  • **Educate Yourself:** Use resources like Gapminder to educate yourself about the true state of the world. Knowledge can combat fear and misinformation.
  • **Focus on Solutions:** Instead of dwelling on problems, look at what is being done to solve them. Many organizations and individuals are working tirelessly to make the world a better place.
  •  Keep a gratitude journal. Each day, write down three things you're thankful for. This simple practice can help shift your focus from what's wrong to what's right.
