Be the positivity you want to see in the world.Choose friends who you are proud to know, people you admire, who love and respect you, people who make your day a little brighter simply by being in it. Surround yourself with people who reflect the person you want to be. Relationships should help you, not hurt you. Does who you are and who you want to be reflect in the company you keep? Start spending time with nice people who are smart, driven and likeminded. If you are around cynical and negative people all the time, you will become cynical and negative. In other words, who you spend your time with has a great impact on the person you eventually become. You are the average of the people you spend the most time with. Remember, what others say and do, and the opinions they have, are based entirely on their own self-reflection. Even when a situation seems personal – even if someone insults you directly – it oftentimes has nothing to do with you. What they say and do is a projection of their own reality – their own attitude. Most negative people behave negatively not just to you, but to everyone they interact with. Don’t take other people’s negativity personally.Here are 10 ways to defend yourself against negativity: And when the mind is cluttered with negativity, happiness is much harder to come by. Negativity perpetuates itself, breeds dissatisfaction and clutters the mind. It can be emotionally draining just being around them, and you must be careful because their attitudes are contagious. They inhabit our families and social circles. Have you ever met Debbie Downer, Negative Nancy or Pessimistic Patty? These people can be so entrenched in the bad things that there isn’t any room for good things to grow. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative. So heres to being a more Positive Patty instead of a Negative Nancy.There is little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. The picture shows how I woke up this morning, lol sleepy boys. These times should be cherished not looked down upon like it is a burden, they are so far from that. Is it awkward for me to sleep after this, absolutely! But do I adore it, YES! For this reason every time I start to complain about it, I give myself a mental smack to snap out of it. Almost every morning he sneaks into our room and curls up at the end of the bed, just because he wants to be where we are (his words). I only have a short time left of my kiddo snuggles before he decides that he is too big for it, I mean who knows what being in first grade and turning 7 will bring, lol. This morning I was reminded of why I am trying to be so positive. It seriously made me seem like one of those people that no one wants to be around because of they are just brought down in my presence. With that being said, I have noticed that prior there had been so many times that I was very outspoken about my negativity with life, or my kiddo, my hubby,or how bad the world is becomming, etc. Not only for my mental health but for my family. This is now, I need to live in the present and stop dwelling on what might have been or what could happen and just be. Don’t get me wrong I had valid reasons from my past to make me this way, but all of that happened in the PAST. Relationships suffered, jobs suffered, my anxiety was outrageous, the list goes on. This is hard for me because my ENTIRE life so far I have been such a negative nancy that it was seriously starting to weigh on me. Recently I have been trying really hard to be a positve person.
