STAYING POSITIVE IN A NEGATIVE ENVIRONMENT (part I)

It's easier to be positive in a positive environment. It's when things are difficult that we are challenged to make a positive impact. Of course, we all get discouraged at times -- here are some ways to help move ourselves and those around us in a more positive direction:

~ Observe yourself in action. Are there ways you are contributing to the negativity around you? Identify and practice letting go of what's not working.

~ Stop being negative by working on eliminating negative words and actions. It all starts with you. Language matters. Everything you say has an impact.

~ Non-constructive complaining does not focus on creating solutions; rather, its impact is only to perpetuate and magnify the problem, expending everyone's precious time and energy.

~ Recognize negativity when it occurs around you. Sometimes you can even feel your energy being drained by the words being spoken. If it feels bad or uncomfortable, then it's probably negative. These feelings are inner messages that something is not right. How do you feel? What is happening? What behavior is being displayed? If you can identify what is happening, then you can make good choices about handling it. The first step is awareness.
