Hello friends,
It’s Wintress Patrice here, your certified NLP Life Coach and founder of IAWP Life Coaching, LLC. Today, I would like to speak to you about an issue that touches us all at different points in our lives: the energy of negative people and its impact on us.
Throughout life, we invariably encounter people and situations that radiate negativity. It might be a disparaging comment, a cynical attitude, or a general aura of pessimism. These instances can drain us emotionally and may even tarnish our perception of self-worth. However, it is important to remember that our worth is not defined by external forces or opinions; it is self-determined, driven by our inner strength, resilience, and inherent value.
Understanding Negative Energy
First and foremost, let’s understand what we mean by “negative energy”. It isn’t about disliking someone or having a disagreement. Negative energy is a pervasive aura of cynicism, constant criticism, and detrimental attitudes that can impact our mood, self-esteem, and overall quality of life.
Some people might emit this energy due to their struggles or because they’re stuck in their own negativity. Nevertheless, it’s crucial to realize that their negativity doesn’t have to become your negativity.
Shielding Yourself from Negativity
As you navigate through life, it’s essential to construct an emotional shield that can deflect negativity. This doesn’t mean cutting all ties with those who exude negative energy; instead, it means setting healthy boundaries and ensuring that their energy doesn’t penetrate your personal space.
You are not obligated to carry the weight of others’ negativity. Protect your emotional well-being by distancing yourself from harmful energy and surrounding yourself with positive influences. This might be spending time with loved ones who uplift you, pursuing hobbies that make you happy, or simply finding tranquility in solitude.
Remember Your Value
Remember that your value does not decrease based on someone’s inability to see your worth. You are a unique, invaluable individual. You have your strengths, talents, and abilities that make you who you are. Do not let someone’s negative energy make you question your worth.
In the face of negativity, remind yourself of your accomplishments and strengths. Treat yourself with kindness and respect, just as you would treat a cherished friend. Validate your feelings and experiences; you have the right to feel good about who you are and what you’ve achieved.
Cultivating Positivity
Instead of absorbing negative energy, aim to be a beacon of positivity. Practice gratitude, be kind to yourself and others, and strive to view situations from a perspective of growth and opportunity. As you exude positivity, you will attract more positive energy into your life.
Finally, remember, it is not about avoiding all negativity but learning to manage it. It is about staying true to yourself and maintaining your peace of mind amid challenging situations. Be the master of your energy, and don’t let external forces steal your joy or disrupt your tranquility.
Hold tight to your own worth, for your value is decided by you and no one else. And when you fully comprehend this, you’ll find that you are not just surviving in a world filled with negative and positive energies, but thriving and illuminating your path, and possibly, the paths of others.
Love and light,
