TIP OF THE DAY
8 Ways to Become Less Cynical

Avoid negative, cynical people.
When you're surrounded by negative people who view the world in a jaded, pessimistic fashion, it can be easy to behave in a similar manner. So, when cynics and complainers gather for a gripe-fest, do yourself a favor, and walk away.

Let go of the assumption that the world is against you.
It's unrealistic to believe that the universe has singled you out and shifted the world order just to make your life miserable. Sometimes bad experiences lead to good experiences, and since you can't predict the future, you can't assume it will always be bad.

Look for the source of your pessimism.
Deep-rooted negativity can often be traced to childhood experiences, as kids observe their circumstances and make presumptions about how the world functions. If all you saw growing up were disappointments, betrayals, and failure, it's no surprise that it's what you expect from the world as an adult.

Understand that the past does not equal the future.
Just because you've experienced pain or disappointment in the past does not guarantee that it's all you will experience in the future. There are also many things in life we can control to one degree or another, and therein lies the possibility of change.

Accept pain, failure, and disappointment as a part of life.
Life involves taking many risks every day, and not all of them will end positively. But some actions will lead to good results, and it's generally better to have a mixed bag than to have nothing at all.

See yourself as a cause, not an effect.
You don't have to be a product or a victim of your circumstances. Stop thinking about what is happening to you, and start thinking about what you can make happen

Focus on the good times.
When something good happens, expect that that's how things usually are.

Make goals attainable.
If you set completely unrealistic goals for yourself, you'll only become frustrated and disappointed if you're unable to achieve them. It's better to establish practical objectives, keeping in mind that you're only human.


WE ALSO FEATURED:
An interview with Dr Roy McCallum a chiropractor. He spoke about the profession/practice and the importance of the maintainance of ones health and the protection of ones spine.

We then had an interview Statistics South Africa ( StatsSA) head of Communication, Trevor Oorsterwyt. He spoke to us about the Living Conditions Survey that is currently underway in South Africa. A survey about the measuring of poverty in South Africa allowing a deeper understanding of poverty thus hopefully helping in the reduction of poverty in the long run.

Lastly we had an interview done by Rhode Marshall about the increased litter found on the Cape beaches and the patrol thereof.
