Creating Your Own Positive World with Law of
AttractionHave you been working hard at improving your own
thoughts and emotions, only to encounter rude and negative people in your daily life? The Law of
Attraction responds to your thoughts and emotions, but too often it’s easy to be influenced by the people
that surround you. You may start out in a great mood, but quickly find yourself spiraling down because of
negativity being tossed your way by others. What to do about it?
First, remember that you don’t have to absorb other people’s moods
and attitudes. It is possible to mentally and emotionally step back from them and put up your
guard.
Before you can do that, however, you need to take a more active
role in choosing your own mood and mind-set, if you haven’t already. That involves consciously choosing a
positive mind-set to start the day, and repeatedly reinforcing it throughout the day by reciting affirmations,
visualizing, choosing positive emotions, and using positive self-talk.
If you’re already doing that, you should definitely feel a bit
stronger when you encounter negativity, but it can still be unsettling. Below you’ll find a few suggestions
for how to deal with it:
Override their negativity in your own
mind.
Imagine that you’re at work, you’re in a good mood, and your co-worker comes in, fuming about
something that made her angry. She’s complaining loudly and threatening to ruin your positive
outlook. You can mentally choose to override her negativity with some powerful self-talk, like this,
“Wow, she’s obviously not having a good day! I feel bad for her, but I don’t have to get sucked into the
negativity. I choose to stay happy and positive today.” It’s amazing what you can block out when
you really set your mind to it.
"Cancel" out their energy.
The word "cancel" can be very powerful. Using the same
example as above, you could mentally say "CANCEL" every time your co-worker says something negative, and imagine
that your intention blocks any negative energy from entering your mind and mood.
Express love and compassion for them.
Another good way to blot out negativity is to shift immediately
into a state of compassion and love. As your co-worker rails about her problems, you can mentally send her
lots of love and healing thoughts, wishing her the best. Because you’re focused more on positive emotions,
you won’t be absorbing the negative ones!
Remove yourself from their presence.
Finally, if all else fails and you’re really struggling to stay
positive in the face of negativity, you’ve got little other choice but to sneak away for awhile. This may not
always be possible, but if you can’t do it physically, try your hardest to detach mentally and
emotionally.
When it comes right down to it, you are the only one in charge of
what you think and feel, regardless of what others may say or do. With a little bit of practice and a lot of
determination, you should be able to overcome any negativity others can throw your way.
