Erm. The original philosophy of "positivity" derives from Eastern thought, and has to do with cultivating knowledge and awareness towards (positive, constructive) action.
So avoiding "negative news" or knowledge of bad or "negative" things, aka "negativity," is such a simplistic re-interpretation of that philosophy that it's not just inaccurate, but a complete anti-wisdom misrepresentation.

Please explain how you intend to identify "those who are in need" if you refuse to acknowledge the "negative" aspects of their realities? ....never mind empathize with or understand them?
Don't mean to dump on you - but I get impatient with New Age gurus who read the first page of a translation touching on millenia worth of collected wisdom - then think they can start a friggin church. And I feel sorry for their followers who buy the idea that being "positive" means sticking one's head up one's butt while one's hands are over one's eyes and one's fingers are in one's ears.
/rant (I do seem to be in a mood today. It's not personal, but generic is important too, dontcha think?)

...we need less people like you who observe life on earth with cynicism. … positivity.. for me in simple terms without the fancy origins of its philosophy, (positivity) means to embrace unconditional love, joy, happiness and peace. ...why not chose positivity over pessimism and negativity? Rather than watch the news and feel sorry for all the poverty, earthquakes, economic disastars etc in the world...
