\u201cGood news is rare these days,\u201d said the journalist Hunter S. Thompson, \u201cand every glittering ounce of it should be cherished and hoarded and worshipped and fondled like a priceless diamond.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thompson may have been referring to the actual news headlines of his day, but I take his meaning more personally. The past year has brought some really difficult news into my life, from medical diagnoses for people I love to professional disappointments to parenting challenges.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve worked on bouncing back from setbacks<\/a> and living positively in a new normal<\/a>, and I\u2019ve grown as a person in the process.<\/p>\n

But recently, a beautiful piece of good news came through the door\u2014a medical treatment had proved successful for someone I love very much. And strangely, it took me a moment to be able to take it in, to embrace the sparkle of Thompson\u2019s priceless diamond. I realized that just like when I faced bad news, there was a shock associated with positive news.<\/p>\n

Life coach Triffany Hammond<\/a> writes that the way we handle good news impacts our happiness. Specifically, if we let good news only take the form of relief, the \u201coh, whew\u201d of the emotional world, we aren\u2019t allowing it to fully permeate our minds and hearts.<\/p>\n

She suggests focusing instead on the gratitude that good news inspires, the \u201coh, thank goodness\u201d feeling that is a well-established way to feel more joy and inner peace.<\/p>\n

Hammond also recommends replaying the scene of the good news you\u2019ve just received, visualizing it in detail and taking a moment to bask in all the positive consequences that roll out from its initial delivery. When I visualize the doctor saying, \u201cThis was a very good scan,\u201d for example, I can focus gratefully on her team\u2019s medical skill, and anticipate summer ice cream shared with my loved one.<\/p>\n

How do you cradle every ounce of a \u201cgood news\u201d moment, cherishing it like the precious diamond it is?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
