5 strategies to ward off negative energy from other people
We all know them: the complainers, the treacherous and miserable of everyday life. The problem: far too often, we let ourselves be dragged down by the negative energy these people send out. Stop it! With these defense strategies, you can easily bounce off the bad mood!
1. Take responsibility for your feelings
No matter how much the other people also complain? they are not to blame for your bad mood. Because you have it in your own hands, if you let it infect you. Often it helps to make that clear. You decide all alone!
2. Reset your helper syndrome
It is also important to keep in mind: even if you are very empathetic and you are close to the worries of your fellow human beings - you can not be there for everyone! You are NOT responsible for the others. So, step by step, learn not to make your feelings your own by mentally setting a barrier and saying, "This is HIS feeling, not MY!"
3. Invite only selected people into your life
The people who are allowed to participate in your life should be those who are really close to you. So define for yourself, who to your inner circle? counts and who should have access to your feelings. Of course you do not have to face all other people like an emotional block of ice and the inner circle is not set in stone. Still, it helps to mentally invite people into your life from time to time? or to leave them at the door.
4. Draw your attention to other things
The colleague complains about the work and the bus driver spread bad mood. Now it's time to imagine a big stop sign and direct your thoughts in a different, more beautiful direction. The sun is shining today ? how beautiful! The coffee tastes really good and tonight is the meeting with your best friend. A good day!
5. Send back positive energy
As the saying goes, attack is the best defense. So if somebody spreads bad mood in your environment, then you turn the tables and talk only about positives. Who knows, maybe the other one will even be infected by it ...
